History

(Present-day Jackson Avenue and Jackson Highway, US Route 43, follow portions of the original road.) Russellville is named after Major William Russell, an early settler in the area who helped in the construction of Jackson's Military Road. As of the 2000 census, the population of the city is 8,971. The city is the county seat of Franklin County, Alabama County.

After the War of 1812, the US government appropriated money to improve a route from Nashville, Tennessee to New Orleans, Louisiana Orleans. It was named Jackson's Military Road after Andrew Jackson, and it passed through what was to become Russellville. Russellville was incorporated on November 27, 1819, the same year that Alabama joined the Union as the twenty-second state.
