Owens Cross Roads, in the Flint River valley of Madison County, dates to the early 1800s, when pioneers from Tennessee, Virginia, the Carolinas and Georgia, including the Wood, Parker, Craig, Craft, Maples, Carpenter and Brannum families, drifted into the area. Thomas J. Owens of Virginia was the first to build his home near the crossing of two roads, which gave the place its name.
Owens Cross Roads appeared on maps by 1850. A large frame building near the crossroads held a post office, opened in 1861, a general store and a blacksmith shop. After the Civil War new businesses opened and a school replaced the original log schoolhouse, and in the early 20th century the town became a welcome stop for travelers between Huntsville and Guntersville. Cotton was the mainstay of the economy through much of its history, with some diversification in the 1920s and 1930s. Owens Cross Roads was incorporated as a town on October 9, 1967.
