== Fun facts ==
* The town of Fyffe was the location of UFO sightings on Friday and Saturday, February 11–12, 1989. More than fifty people (at a time when the town of less than two thousand residents) called the Fyffe Police Department to report sightings on two separate occasions. This was later discussed and ridiculed by late comedian Bill Hicks on his album (and video) "Relentless". As a way of remembering the UFO sightings, Fyffe is home to an annual UFO (Unforgettable Family Outing) Festival every August and features hot air balloon rides available to the public as well as musical entertainment and outdoor games.
* Pine Ridge is mostly a residential community with little industry in between Fort Payne and Rainsville.
* A number of private summer camps are located near Mentone. For a number of years, the Mentone area hosted an unusually large number of summer camps.
* DeKalb is a dry county.
* The county's eastern edge, along the state line, was the epicenter of an earthquake on April 29, 2003, measuring 4.6 on the Richter scale. Power was knocked out in the area, mirrors and pictures thrown to the floor, foundations cracked, and one chimney fell to the ground. It was felt over a significant portion of the southeastern states, including quite strongly in northeastern Alabama and neighboring northern Georgia, and nearby eastern Tennessee (especially near Chattanooga). It was also felt slightly in western upstate South Carolina, far west-southwestern North Carolina, south and southeastern Kentucky, and east-northeastern Mississippi.
* Ider annually holds a festival known as Mule Day. This festival is held on Labor Day each year. Mule Day activities include horse and mule pulls, an antique tractor and car show, food, arts and crafts, gospel singing, and children's games. Canceled as of 2017.
* Northeast Alabama Community College is located on the northwest border of Powell.
