City of Fountain Inn

Fountain Inn, named after an old inn with a refreshing fountain, offered the perfect escape for travelers during the stagecoach era. This charming small town is steeped in history, with notable landmarks and a famous native, "Peg Leg" Bates, the renowned dancer and entertainer. Fountain Inn, home to 10,995 residents, operates under a Mayor/Council government. Interestingly, it straddles both Laurens and Greenville Counties, making it a unique and welcoming destination.
