The city comprises most of the islands in the Fraser River delta, the largest and most populated island being Lulu Island (the eastern tip of which forms the
Queensborough neighbourhood, which is actually part of the neighbouring city of New Westminster). The next largest island, Sea Island, is home to the Vancouver
International Airport (YVR). In addition to Lulu and Sea Islands, 13 smaller islands make up the city's 129.66 square kilometres (50.1 sq mi) land area. The
former village of Steveston takes up the far southwest corner of the city.

Since all of Richmond's land occupies islands in a river delta, the city has plenty of rich, alluvial soil for agriculture, and was one of the first areas in
British Columbia to be farmed by Europeans in the 19th century. Richmond also supports about 1,400 acres (5.67 kmē) of parkland.
Richmond supports about 100,000 jobs in various areas including services, retailing, tourism, light manufacturing, airport services and aviation, agriculture,
fishing, and government. Richmond also is a leading centre in the region for high-technology companies, including the Nintendo Corporation of Canada. Microsoft
has opened an office in September 2007 for software development. It will eventually employ hundreds of highly-skilled workers from around the world.
