Repton is a railroad town in Conecuh County, a county created on February 13, 1818, whose name is said to come from a Muscogee word meaning "land of cane." A post office opened here under the name Repton in 1881, taking the surname of a railroad official, and the town had about 100 residents in 1880. Nearby on the Old Federal Road stood the stage stop of Duncan McMillan, a Scottish settler who, a traveler wrote in 1830, "thought coffee was the best stimulant."
The Town of Repton was incorporated on January 10, 1899, with A. F. Peterman as its first mayor. That same year the Louisville and Nashville Railroad was extended through the middle of downtown and a turntable was installed. In the early 1900s Repton was a bustling railroad town with several hotels, banks and stores, a livery stable, a cotton gin and, according to the town's marker, the only hospital with a board-certified surgeon between Selma and Century, Florida. Its population reached 422 by 1920. As freight moved from rails to trucks, Repton slowly declined, falling to 280 residents by 2000. In 2004 residents formed the Repton Restoration Society to revive the town, and its first beautification project was completed in 2009.
