Fenton was first settled in 1834 by Clark Dibble and originally called Dibbleville. Then in 1837, William Fenton and Robert LeRoy bought a large plot of land there and registered it under the name of Fentonville.
Today, the downtown area retains much of its historical look while also having a town square-style shopping plaza nearby. The Shiawassee River flows over a dam through the park in the center of town.
