Russell was named from William Russell who came to the county in 1864
and located in Burnside Township. When the postoffice was opened
in Burnside Township, there was considerable controversy over the
name. About 20 years ago, the office was moved to Chimney Rock
Township where mail was received three times a week, until the office
was discontinued by reason of the establishment of the rural delivery
system. The school district is still known as the Russell
district.
