Russell County Summary
Introduction
Russell County, Alabama is located in the southeastern corner of the state and is part of the Wiregrass Region. It is bordered by the Chattahoochee River to the east, the Georgia state line to the south, and the counties of Barbour, Houston, and Dale to the west and north. The county seat is Phenix City, and the largest city is Phenix City. The county was established in 1832 and named for Colonel Gilbert C. Russell, a hero of the Creek War of 1813-14.
History
The area that is now Russell County was originally inhabited by the Creek Indians. The Creek were forcibly removed from the area in the 1830s as part of the Indian Removal Act. The area was then opened up for settlement by white settlers. The county was officially established in 1832 and named for Colonel Gilbert C. Russell, a hero of the Creek War of 1813-14.
The county was largely agricultural in the 19th century, with cotton being the main crop. The county was also home to several small towns, including Phenix City, which was founded in 1883. Phenix City quickly became the largest town in the county and the county seat.
In the early 20th century, the county experienced a period of rapid growth and development.
