A Bit of Bon Air History 

Bon Air had its real estate beginnings as a peaceful resort serving as a respite for wealthy residents of Richmond. In fact, its very name means "good air," making it an even more apt getaway for those resort-goers trying to escape the "dirty air" of the late 19th century industrial Richmond. Portions of Bon Air have been designated and recognized as a National Historic District by Federal and State governments. Present-day residents can partake in Bon Air's proud heritage through events such as the annual Victorian Day Festival and Parade, held each May to celebrate the town's roots.
