Discover Guntersville

Guntersville, the seat of Marshall County, was earlier known as Gunter's Ferry and Gunter's Landing. It was founded by John Gunter, who lived from 1765 to 1835, a wealthy salt mine owner and the great-grandfather of the humorist Will Rogers. Gunter made an agreement with the Cherokee who lived in the area, marrying Ghe-No-He-Li, also called Katy, daughter of the Paint Clan chief Bushyhead, and promising salt to the tribe; a town grew up beside the mine and took his name. The city holds a festival each July honoring Will Rogers.

More about Guntersville

The town was incorporated as Gunter's Landing in 1848 and won the county seat from Warrenton, which had held it since 1841. It formally became Guntersville in 1854. In late 1864 the U.S. Navy began running gunboats on the Tennessee River, and Confederate troops defended the river from Guntersville; in January 1865 the USS General Grant tried to destroy the town in retaliation. For much of the 20th century the local economy centered on cotton processing, especially the Saratoga Victory Mill. The city now lies on Lake Guntersville, created by the Tennessee Valley Authority's Guntersville Dam. Sources Wikipedia: Guntersville, Alabama
