At the 2020 census, the population was 2,292. Henagar is located on top of Sand Mountain, a southern extension of the Cumberland Plateau. Henagar was first settled circa 1855. The town is named after an early settler, George Henegar. A post office was established in 1878. It was then that a postal official misspelled the town's name as "Henagar". In 1901, a public school was built. At daybreak on November 18, 1906, a Sunday, the Rainsville tornado struck the town, and all "fifteen stores and houses were reduced to splinters." They rebuilt, and Henagar incorporated in 1965.
