== Fun facts ==
* A decent portion of the Bankhead National Forest is in Winston County, including the Double Springs town limits.
* Arley's main economy is based on fishing, as there are multiple creeks and a lake nearby.
* During the American Civil War, Winston County gained attention for its opposition to secession, a sentiment so strong that the county is sometimes referred to as the Free State of Winston. The county today plays on its reputation as the "Free State of Winston" to attract tourists. The county’s opposition to the Confederacy is briefly mentioned in the novels To Kill a Mockingbird and Addie Pray.
* Unlike nearly every other county in the Deep South, and in keeping with its history during the American Civil War, Winston County has always been a bastion of support for the Republican Party, even as the Democratic Party utterly dominated Alabama state politics from the end of Reconstruction until the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. For example, in four consecutive elections from 1936 to 1948, Winston County stood alone in Alabama voting for the Republican Presidential ticket, and in 1912 Winston County joined three other Alabama counties in voting for the Bull Moose Party candidacy of Theodore Roosevelt. The county also voted for the Populist candidate of James B. Weaver in 1892.
** The only Democrat to gain a majority in the county since 1936 has been Jimmy Carter in 1976, and in recent times Winston County has become comparably Republican to the Texas Panhandle.
* Up into the 2000s, Winston County was known for being the last place in the state where the KKK had a noticeable presence, cross burnings having occurred in Double Springs and Lynn, in addition to a few more rural areas.
* The civil-rights judge Frank Minis Johnson of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit was born in Delmar, in Winston County.
