Houston, now an unincorporated community, was the seat of Winston County for more than 25 years. Hancock County was created on February 12, 1850, with its first seat at Houston on the far side of Brushy Creek, about three miles northeast. On January 22, 1858, the seat and courthouse moved to the present site, and the county was renamed Winston for John Anthony Winston, the first Alabama-born governor.
More about Houston
The town once had a two-story log courthouse, a jail, doctors, lawyers, blacksmiths, a county newspaper and stores. Its log jail, built around 1868 of hand-hewn hardwood, replaced one destroyed by pro-Union men during the Civil War. Its inner walls were covered with boards more than two inches thick, cut at the nearby water-powered Partridge Mill on the Sipsey River and studded with horseshoe nails to keep prisoners from sawing their way out. After Cullman County took the eastern third of Winston in 1877, voters in 1884 moved the county seat to more central Double Springs, and the jail was abandoned. It is the only surviving log jail in north Alabama and the only building left from Houston's days as county seat; it was donated to the county in 1975 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
