Town History
The incorporation of Hayneville as a town began
with the desire and vision of 25 qualified electors of the
county and residents of the Hayneville community in July 1967.
These men and women had a vision for a thriving town.
The oral history reports that Hayneville was once a
bustling, booming community with hotels and a race track for
horse racing, thus, the now Pine Street is often referred to as
the “Race Track”.
