Guntersville is a city in Marshall County, Alabama, United States and is included in the Huntsville-Decatur Combined Statistical Area. At the 2000 census, the population of the city was 7,395. The city is the county seat of Marshall County.
Guntersville is located at the southernmost point of the Tennessee River on Lake Guntersville, formed by the Guntersville Dam. Geologically, the lake occupies a southern extension of Sequatchie Valley, which continues south as Browns Valley.
Guntersville was founded by German immigrant John Gunter, the wealthy owner of a salt mine in the early 1800s. In order to obtain more land to mine, Gunter struck a deal with the Cherokee tribe that inhabited the area. As part of the deal, Gunter married the daughter of the tribe's chiefs and agreed to give salt to the tribe. A town sprung up next to the mine and was named after Gunter.
