A town sprung up next to the mine and was named after Gunter. In order to obtain more land to mine, Gunter struck a deal with the Cherokee tribe that inhabited the area. At the 2000 census, the population of the city was 7,395. As part of the deal, Gunter married the daughter of the tribe's chiefs and agreed to give salt to the tribe. The city is the county seat of Marshall County, Alabama County.

Guntersville was founded by German immigrant John Gunter, the wealthy owner of a salt mine in the early 1800s.
