Fayette County, Alabama
Fayette County nestles in west-central Alabama, with the city of Fayette as its centerpiece. Only about 16,000 people live in this rural county. U.S. Route 43 is the main highway here.
Farming is a way of life with timber and poultry farming as major industries. The Sipsey River flows through the county and the Guthrie Smith Park offers a nice spot for picnics and community gatherings.
Fayette hosts an annual Arts Festival, bringing a touch of culture to this quiet corner of Alabama. And if you’re lucky, you might catch a glimpse of the elusive Sipsey River monster. (Spoiler: It’s probably just a big catfish.)
