Winston County is a county of the U.S. state of Alabama. As of the 2020 census, the population was 23,540. Its county seat is Double Springs. Known as Hancock County before 1858, the county is named in honor of John A. Winston, the fifteenth Governor of Alabama. The county had few slaves and has been a bastion of Republican Party loyalty for much of its history, even during the many decades of Democrat Party domination across much of the South and in the state of Alabama after the Reconstruction era.
