Westhampton Citizens Association

Who We Are

The Westhampton Citizens Association (WCA) is a non-profit civic organization dedicated to advocating for the preservation of the unique character of Richmond’s Westhampton community.  Our work ensures that Westhampton remains a vibrant, safe, and walkable neighborhood for all residents.

We collaborate with our City Council representative, planning department staff, local developers, and other neighborhood associations to ensure development and proposed zoning changes enhance, rather than diminish and disrupt, Westhampton’s village-like charm.


Preserving the Character and Quality of Westhampton for Future Generations

Our Boundaries

While our historic boundaries are: North: Patterson Avenue | South: The James River | East: I-195 | West: Henrico line, we welcome any member who shares our mission.

We advocate for residents by attending forums and meetings regarding local developments.
