Hayneville, the seat of Lowndes County, was founded in 1820 by settlers from the Edgefield, Abbeville and Colleton districts of South Carolina, on land bought at the federal land office at Cahawba after the Muscogee Creek were forced to cede it. Through the 1820s the settlement was known as Big Swamp. In 1831, when it was chosen as county seat, it was named Hayneville for Robert Y. Hayne, the South Carolina senator and governor whose 1830 Senate debates with Daniel Webster over the nature of the federal union made him famous across the South.
Cotton plantations dominated the county, and when the boll weevil arrived in the early 20th century it devastated the crop; later farmers turned to other crops and livestock. Lowndes County Training School opened in Hayneville in 1913. In the spring of 1965, majority-Black Lowndes County had no registered Black voters, and activists worked here to register residents and integrate public places. On August 13, 1965, Episcopal seminarian Jonathan Daniels of New Hampshire and other demonstrators were arrested while picketing whites-only stores in Fort Deposit and jailed in Hayneville. Released on August 20, Daniels went with three companions to Varner's store, where a special county deputy leveled a shotgun at 17-year-old Ruby Sales; Daniels pushed her to the ground and was killed by the blast. A marker near the spot honors him.
