Cleburne County was created by an act of state legislature on December 6, 1866. It was formed from land in Randolph, Talladega, and Benton counties. Edwardsville was elected county seat in 1867. In 1905, an election was held to move the county seat from Edwardsville to Heflin. The results of the election, in which the county seat was moved to Heflin, were appealed to Supreme Court. They ruled on July 1, 1906, to confirm the election results. Heflin remains the county seat. Heflin was once considered a hub where nearby farmers could send their cotton. A group of investors from the north created Fruithurst, Cleburne County shortly after the Civil War. It was part of a wine-growing venture. Fruithurst was soon a popular tourist destination.
Cleburne County, although not as large as Winston and Chilton Counties during the "Solid South", was a Republican island in overwhelmingly Democratic Alabama. This was due to its inability to support slave-based plantation agriculture. This resulted in significant Populist support during the "Redemption" period by white Democrats. It also produced later support of the Republican Party, even though most Alabama whites equated the "Party of Lincoln” with black political power and occupation.
Cleburne County's political history ended in the 1960s and 1970s. Since then, it has been on the same path to Republican dominance that the rest of Appalachia. In 2020, Joe Biden won nine percent of the vote. This is less than George McGovern's landslide defeat in 1972.
