Marengo County, Administrative division in west-central Alabama, United States.

Marengo County spans across the Black Belt region with rich soil, bordered by multiple counties and containing the cities of Demopolis and Linden.

French settlers established the Vine and Olive Colony in 1817 after receiving land grants from Congress to cultivate grapes and olives.

The Marengo County History and Archive Museum, located in the Rosenbush building, exhibits artifacts and documents detailing the region's development.

The county administration provides services for vehicle registration, property tax payments, and voter registration through its centralized office in Linden.

The county bears the name of an 1800 Napoleonic battle near Turin, chosen by early French settlers who were Bonaparte supporters.
