"Trempealeau County" by Clarence J. Gamroth:
Volume 1A:
Communities: Russell
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.
