Why Live in Russellville

Russellville, Alabama, a manufacturing hub between the Tennessee River and Bankhead National Forest, has been central to Northwest Alabama’s iron and steel industry for nearly 150 years. The city hosts a 200-acre industrial park, with major employers like G&G Steel, Inc. and Franklin Manufacturing. Beyond its industrial significance, Russellville offers abundant outdoor recreation, with the Tennessee River and Bankhead National Forest providing over 90 miles of hiking, biking, and horseback riding trails, as well as prime fishing spots. City Lake Park features a fishing pier, playground, and walking trail, while the adjacent Russellville Sports Complex includes a public pool, tennis courts, and football field. The John Blackwell Sports Complex caters to local baseball and softball leagues, and the recently opened Russellville Splash Pad adds to the family-friendly attractions. Downtown Russellville, revitalized as a Main Street Alabama community, boasts historic homes from the 1800s, midcentury ranch-style houses, and newer builds. The area is coming alive with shops, restaurants, and the reopened Roxy Theatre, which hosts monthly events. Annual events like the Franklin County Watermelon Festival also draw crowds. Russellville City Schools, serving about 2,600 students, are highly rated, with Russellville High ranked among Alabama's top 20 high schools. U.S. Route 43 and State Road 24 intersect here, providing access to nearby Florence and the Northwest Alabama Regional Airport in Muscle Shoals. The city has seen a decline in property and violent crime from 2020 to 2023, making it safer than the national average. Summers are hot and muggy, winters are short and mild, and the area is prone to tornadoes due to its location in the Tennessee Valley.
