Haleyville, mostly in Winston County, lies near an area once lived in by Cherokee people, called the "division of the waters." Richard McMahan made the first permanent settlement in 1820, John Byler finished the first major road through the area, from the Tennessee Valley to Tuscaloosa, in 1821, and Jacob Pruitt built a two-story inn on the Byler Road in 1825. In 1883 William "Bucky" Davis owned 40 acres at Davis Cross Roads, which became Davis Crossing when the Northern Alabama Railroad came through in 1887. Reportedly, Davis let the name be changed to Haleyville in exchange for a suit of clothes from Charles and Walker Haley's store, and the town was incorporated on February 28, 1889.
The Illinois Central connected with the Southern Railroad here in 1907. A cotton mill built in 1928 was the first major industry, followed by auto exhaust and mobile home plants. The first Guthrie's restaurant opened in Haleyville in 1965. On February 16, 1968, the nation's first 9-1-1 emergency call was placed from the mayor's office. AT&T had announced plans to launch the service in Indiana, and the independent Alabama Telephone Company chose its Haleyville exchange to beat it; Alabama House Speaker Rankin Fite placed the call to U.S. Representative Tom Bevill at the police station.
