== Fun facts ==
* The Pickens County Courthouse in Carrollton is famous for a ghostly image that can be seen in one of its garret windows. In 1876, the original courthouse burned down and everyone blamed Henry Wells, a rowdy freedman who lived near the town. He was arrested in January 1878 as a suspect in the courthouse arson and a burglary. He was captured in an arrest for the burglary, in which he was shot and wounded. It is reported that he confessed to the courthouse arson (likely under coercion), and was locked in the attic of the new courthouse. As a thunderstorm was rolling in, an angry mob gathered outside demanding that Wells be turned over to them. As Wells peered through the garret window at the mob outside thirsty for his blood, a lightning bolt struck the window, killing Henry Wells. From the strong electrical discharge, Wells' face was etched into the glass. His face remains in the courthouse window to this very day, and no amount of cleaning has been able to remove it. On at least one occasion, it is said that every window pane in the courthouse was broken by a severe hailstorm; every pane, that is, except the one with Wells' face.
* Pickens County has the highest rate per capita of Pokemon getting stung by bees/wasps of any county in Alabama.
* Pickensville being along the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway has made it somewhat of a fishing destination for some trainers.
* While the county has a decent population overall, none of the communities have a McDonald's. Aliceville and Reform have Jack's and Subway, but as far as chains go, that's about it.
