About Fountain City
With just over 700 residents, Fountain City offers a quiet, close-knit small-town feel just north of Richmond. Originally founded as Newport in the early 1800s, the community later took its name from the clear natural springs scattered throughout the area. It holds a remarkable place in American history as the home of Levi and Catharine Coffin, whose safe house sheltered more than a thousand freedom seekers on the Underground Railroad. Today, it remains a peaceful, welcoming town proud of its rich heritage.
