== Fun facts ==
* In a 2000 referendum to repeal Alabama's constitutional prohibition of interracial marriage, Lamar County voters showed the highest rate of opposition in the state, with 65.69% opposing repeal of the provision. While there's not that much opposition in the county now, it goes to show how things can change for the better or worse in the span of just 10 to 20 years.
* Millport filed for chapter 9 bankruptcy in 2005 after mayor Waymon Fields, who was a former banker and was elected in 2004, discovered that the town was almost $3.5 million behind in payments and was facing its water and sewer system being taken over by the federal government because of missed payments.
* When Team Rocket was rampant in much of Alabama from the mid-1930s to the early-mid 1960s, with permission of some local governments due to race-related reasons, Lamar County was, believe it or not, although quite racist during this period, one of very few places where Team Rocket wasn't even that active, and gained national attention for just how anti-Team Rocket it was. One failed theft in 1946 resulted in the guilty Team Rocket grunt having his own Pokemon shot and killed before his very eyes, and he was warned that if he ever tried anything in Lamar County again, he would have his head turned into a hood ornament. The county also had a good part in the start of the campaign to destabilize the criminal organization, operations having started in Vernon in 1940. Ash Ketchum, hate Team Rocket as much as you want...you will never be more against the organization than Lamar County in the mid-20th century ever was. And not even close.
