History

Fowler was named for Orson Squire Fowler, a phrenologist who founded the town. The town was incorporated in 1925.

The town was built as a small railroad station for the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway. The town was originally named Oxford, for a large ox that was killed when crossing the railroad tracks. The name of the town was changed because there was another town named Oxford located on the rail line.
