== Fun facts ==
* Brewton was known in past times as "the richest little town in the South." Brewton's high per capita income was based on the profits enjoyed by a small number of "timber barons," as they are remembered. They had come at the end of the last century to harvest the pine forests, and, with their profits, stayed to build extraordinary homes along Belleville and Evergreen avenues. These families include the McMillans and the Millers, many of whose descendants still reside in the town.
* The annual Alabama Blueberry Festival is held at Jennings Park and downtown Brewton. Prior to 2006 it was held on the campus of Jefferson Davis Community College.
* One of the city's biggest employers is a Georgia-Pacific paper mill on the southwestern edge of city limits.
