The Fountain Inn Name
On December 24, 1886 the city took its name from an inn and fountain that were along the old stage coach route. The stage coach drivers called the stop Fountain Inn and it stuck. A small garden fountain is installed at City Hall and there is a marker on the North side of town showing the former location of the old inn.
