Delmar is a small, rural, community in west-central Winston County, United States.

Presumably, the community was called Frog Level because of the swampy land that existed around the area at the time.

In order to get a post office, the citizens of the Frog Level in Winston County had to change their town's name.

A popular belief holds that a construction engineer with the railroad had a retired race horse by the name of "Delmar" or "Del Mar" (Spanish for "from the sea").

After notifying the U. S. Postal Service of its name change, Delmar's first post office was opened on September 1, 1887.

The current post office building was erected in 1971, during the service of Postmaster Mrs. Martha Roberts Stewart.

Reportedly, Delmar was as lively as a town out of the Wild West, complete with drunken bar room brawls.

On the night of April 3, 1974, Delmar was struck by a deadly tornado, as were communities in 12 other states and Canada during the 1974 Super Outbreak.

In January 1993, the people of Delmar decided to establish a volunteer fire department for their community.

Like so many small towns and communities in Alabama, Delmar has experienced times of economic boom and bust over the past 100 years.

Johnson often locked horns with Alabama Governor George Wallace over racial issues.

In 1965, Johnson ordered Wallace to allow civil rights protesters to march from Selma to Montgomery.
