Earlier this week, I was asked for a list of the mayors of Richwood, LA. I was able to find them by going through the newspaper database on Newspapers.com. Now, if I could figure out the mayors of Sterlington during the 80’s, I’d have a complete list for Sterlington too! Here are the mayors of Richwood and the years they served:
Verdiacee Hampton-Goston 1975 – 1976
Governor M. Richardson 1976 – 1980
Verdiacee Hampton-Goston 1980 – 1984
Edward L. Harris 1984 – 2008
Steve B. Hunter 2008-2009, 2010-2012
Simeon Profit 2009 – 2010 (interim mayor after Mayor Hunter was recalled in 2008)
Alvin Jackson 2012 – 2016
Gerald Brown, Sr. 2016 – Present
