Located on the southern edge of the Ozark Mountains and north of the Arkansas River, this setting was an ideal settlement area. Throughout the 18th century into the early 19th century, seasonal movements of the seminomadic Osage Indians from western Missouri brought them annually into Arkansas, including the valley where Russellville is now located. Between 1815 and 1828, the area was within a Cherokee reservation.
