Fenton, Community center in Genesee County, Michigan, US
Fenton encompasses regions of three counties - Genesee, Oakland, and Livingston - with a total area of 7 square miles at 275 meters elevation point.
Originally named Dibbleville in 1834, the settlement changed to Fentonville in 1837 when William M. Fenton, future lieutenant governor of Michigan, platted the area.
The A.J. Phillips Museum preserves local artifacts and documents, while regular community events bring residents together throughout seasonal celebrations in downtown Fenton.
US Highway 23 provides direct access to the city, connecting travelers to major transportation routes through the western section of Fenton.
The 2007 EF2 tornado marked a transformative moment for Fenton, leading to reconstruction efforts including the Cornerstone development project in the downtown area.
