History
A post office called Russells Point has been in operation since 1913. The village was named after James Russell, owner of the town site.
On March 14, 2024, Russell's Point as well as several other communities nearby Indian Lake (Ohio) were struck by a large, considerable tornado at approximately 7:51 pm EST. At least three fatalities were reported as a result of the tornado along with many injuries and a great deal of damage, some catastrophic, to both homes and businesses. It has been reported that some structures were completely destroyed. The tornado was later identified as an EF-3 rated tornado by NWS survey teams.
