Nestled in the heart of northwest Alabama, Lawrence County is a place where history, community, and natural beauty come together. Established in 1818, just one year before Alabama became a state, our county has grown into a vibrant community of more than 33,000 residents who proudly call this region home.

From the rolling waters of the Tennessee River to the scenic trails of Bankhead National Forest and the Sipsey Wilderness, Lawrence County offers unmatched opportunities for outdoor adventure. Our heritage runs deep — from Native American sites and historic districts to the celebrated Jesse Owens Memorial Park, honoring one of America’s greatest athletes.

The Lawrence County Commission is committed to preserving this proud legacy while building for the future. We work every day to provide essential services, maintain public resources, and ensure a welcoming environment for families, businesses, and visitors alike.

Whether you are here to explore our history, enjoy our natural beauty, or learn more about county services, we invite you to discover all that Lawrence County has to offer.
