== Fun facts ==
* Etowah County had issues of racial discrimination and injustice, and Jim Crow. It had one documented lynching. Bunk Richardson, an innocent African-American man, was lynched by about 25 masked whites in the county seat of Gadsden, Alabama, on February 1906, allegedly because he was associated with a case in which a white woman was raped and killed. The whites were angry that the governor had commuted the death sentence of one defendant in the case (who was likely also innocent of charges), after two men had already been executed for the crime.
* Ridgeville has historically been Etowah County's only historically black community, however, it is only 57% black as of 2010.
* Altoona started as a mining town, and was named after the city in Pennsylvania with the same name.
* In total area, Etowah is the smallest county in Alabama, but one of the most densely populated.
