Nestled in the heart of the Arkansas River Valley, between the Ozark and Ouachita Mountains, Russellville, Arkansas is a thriving community that is home to Arkansas Tech University, Arkansas Nuclear One (Arkansas' only nuclear power plant), and Lake Dardanelle State Park.
Before the town was named Russellville, it was known to local people as Chactas Prairie, The Prairie, or Cactus Flats. In the early 1800s, hunters from the Osage Tribe in Missouri frequently visited the valley where Russellville is located. Between 1818 and 1828, the area was within a Cherokee reservation, but after 1828 the Cherokee were removed to Indian Territory (present-day Oklahoma), and the land became available for non-indigenous settlement. The first settler in the area was P.C. Holledger in 1834. One year later, Dr. Russell bought Holledger's house. The first business to be established in the town was owned by Mr. Shinn, who later built a masonry structure to replace his wooden store in 1875. This building still exists today, and is known as the Shinn Building, it was built at the intersection of an east-west road from Little Rock to Fort Smith and a north-south buffalo trail to a ford on the Arkansas River. Early travelers used these established trails to pass through the valley. When the town's residents decided to name it, it came down to two choices: Shinnville or Russellville, and Russellville won. On June 7, 1870 Russellville became an incorporated city.
