The source behind the name
USGS GNIS Populated Place names in all 50 states and DC. Features in the historical extract or explicitly named historical are excluded; duplicate decision records with identical identities and coordinates are collapsed. GNIS points identify names, not legal or neighborhood boundaries, current occupancy, school attendance or a statistical population. Nearby Census places and tracts remain separately named geographies. Name completeness and currency vary; this is not a claim to include every locally used neighborhood name.

USGS description & history
Radioville was proposed to be established in October 1932 by Henry Ulrich. The planned community was to consist of homes, churches, schools and industry. Some bought lots and built homes but Ulrich's plan never evolved. The name is possibly derived from a procedure Ulrich performed called diathermy, a therapy using heat from condensed radio waves to relieve bone and muscle ailments. Residents also believe that radio broadcasting, including advertising for the Radioville community, and its developing popularity may have also encouraged the name. Today the community is not much more than a crossroads east of Pulaski.
