Owenton is the former name for the community roughly coinciding with Birmingham's current Bush Hills neighborhood.
Birmingham-Southern College was founded in the area as "Owenton College" in 1898. It was reached by the Owenton-Wylam streetcar line beginning in 1900. Other area landmarks included Owenton Technical School (now Bush Hills Academy) and Owenton Methodist Church (now McCoy United Methodist Church).
