The population was 4,845 at the 2020 census, the second largest city in Marion County. Winfield is a small city situated in northwest Alabama, 26 miles east of the Mississippi state line. It lies in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountain range which stretches from the deep South all the way to Canada. Long before the earliest settlers arrived, Native Americans hunted in the forest and fished in the streams of the region. This area was once the domain of the Chickasaw people. Although there were no known Native American settlements within the county, several sites were maintained as hunting camps.
