General Information about Russiaville

Russiaville is a town in Howard County, Indiana, United States, ZIP code 46979, telephone exchange (765) 883-xxxx. The population was 1,092 at the 2000 census. It is part of the Kokomo, Indiana Metropolitan Statistical Area
The town was named for a native American, Richardville, as indeed was the the entire county as it was originally conceived in the years before the American Civil War. The French pronunciation of "Ri-shar-ville" led through corruption to the current spelling, maintaining the approximate pronunciation "Roo-sha-ville" throughout its history. Seeming connection through spelling to Russia led to the naming of the town high school mascot "Cossacks" until county consolidation changed Russiaville High School to Western High School in 1949. Some theorize an alternate history, that during the Cold War, residents consciously changed the pronunciation of Russiaville's name in order to disassociate their town from Russia, the leading state of the Soviet Union. A map from the 1840's-1850's hanging in the Quaker Collection of Earlham College in Richmond, Indiana, clearly shows a county named Richardville including the current town of Russiaville with the older spelling.
