==History==
The present city grew out of a resort centered on a local chalybeate spring. Rennick relates that Samuel Patterson was generally credited with settling the site and that the community was known as Big Boiling Springs by 1850.〔Rennick, Robert. ''Kentucky Place Names'', (p. 259 ). University Press of Kentucky (Lexington), 1987. Accessed 4 October 2013.〕 The post office was established in 1855 as "Russell Springs" after the county, but was discontinued 1865 and reopened as Kimble (after local businessman George Kimble) in 1888. The community restored the name Russell Springs in 1901〔 and incorporated in 1936.〔Commonwealth of Kentucky. Office of the Secretary of State: Land Office. "(Russell Springs )". Accessed 8 Jul 2013.〕
