Richlands is a small unincorporated farming community in Greenbrier County, West Virginia. As Richlands is 2.2 miles from the church & the cemetery in an otherwise unincorporated area, I am saying cemetery is only in no other incorporated area except Greenbrier County. Also this is the 1st place in Greenbrier County, West Virginia, that's in the database.
