[1] The hamlet is eleven miles northeast of Richmond and 3.5 miles west of the Ray-Carroll county line, and consists of only a few houses.

History

Russellville has the name of William Russell, an early settler. [3] A variant name was "Fox". [1] A post office at Fox was established in 1864, and remained in operation until 1904. [4]
