History

Originally known as “La Fayette”, it incorporated on January 15, 1821. When Fayette County was created in 1824, the town’s name was officially changed to “Fayette Court House”, though it was also known as “Fayetteville”, which was the name shown on maps and on the U.S. Census in 1880 and 1890. It was officially shortened to “Fayette” in 1898.

In 1928, Victor and Lucy Patterson began manufacturing Golden Eagle Syrup in Fayette. The syrup is still produced locally in a manufacturing facility in downtown Fayette.
