History

Due to its proximity to fertile land and the Meramec River, the Fenton area has been inhabited for over 900 years. The earliest proof of ancient dwellers was excavated from the “Fenton Mounds”, two conical earthen burial mounds located near the southwestern border of Fenton. Diagnostic pottery shards from the mounds indicate they date from the Mississippian times, A.D. 1050 – 1400. In 2001, the mounds were leveled, by developer Gary Grewe, for construction of a Walmart Supercenter.

The Fenton territory was occupied by Native Americans and early settlers in the 1770s, but now it is owned by Edward Barton. William Lindsay Long founded the city of Fenton on March 23, 1818. The original eight-square-block area is now referred to as “Old Towne Fenton”. The city remained unincorporated for the next 130 years. Garrett Hitzert was the city’s first mayor after incorporation in 1948, and his leadership helped build the foundation that much of the city’s ongoing prosperity has been based on. He conceived of Fenton’s expansive commercial business and industrial district that is a centerpiece of the city’s fiscal success.
