Located near the eastern borders of Cannock Chase, Rugeley combines residential neighborhoods with shopping centers across multiple districts at 52.7599 latitude and -1.9388 longitude.
The town's name originated from Anglo-Saxon words 'Hrycg' and 'Leah', meaning a ridge and woodland clearing, with early records showing only 40 inhabitants during Norman times.
