It incorporated in December 1889. At the 2020 census, the population was 2,195. Guin takes its name from a young country doctor, Dr. Jeremiah Guin from Tuscaloosa County, who purchased the farm known then as Haley's Trading Post from a certain John T. Meador in 1870, and who, in turn, had bought the property from a certain Alan Haley, a newcomer to the State, who had built there a country store on the most used road stretching from north to south, in order to accommodate cattle drovers taking their cattle to market in Columbus and Aberdeen, Mississippi. Jeremiah Guin, while looking for a place to make his home, moved the center of interest about a mile east of Haley's Trading Post.
