Guin, in Marion County, takes its name from Dr. Jeremiah "Jerry" Guin, a young country doctor from Tuscaloosa County. In 1870 he bought the farm known as Haley's Trading Post from John T. Meador, who had bought it from Alan Haley; Haley had built a store there on the main north-south road used by drovers taking cattle to market in Columbus and Aberdeen, Mississippi. Guin moved the center of activity about a mile east, and a sawmill soon supplied the community with lumber.
In 1889 Dr. Guin gave land to the Kansas City, Memphis and Birmingham Railroad so it could finish its Memphis-to-Birmingham line; the rails were joined on his farm with a ceremonial golden spike, and a depot named Guin was established. Thirty-two citizens then petitioned for incorporation, and the town was incorporated on December 30, 1889, with about 350 people, 13 stores, four hotels, two cotton yards and a livery stable. Guin later had Marion County's first high school. On April 3, 1974, during the Super Outbreak, an F5 tornado with winds up to 250 miles per hour struck downtown Guin, killing 23 people and injuring hundreds.
