Ruso was founded and named on July 17, 1906 and named either after a Russian word meaning “south of us” or from the first two letters in both of the words “South Russia” by an agent who brought in immigrants from Russia. The city incorporated on July 7, 1909.

The city lost its last business in 1956.
