Appropriately named after Fountain Creek, the City of Fountain is a Home Rule Municipality located just south of Colorado Springs and neighbooring Fort Carson. The city was founded in the mid 1800's and settled by farmers and ranchers because of the lush plains and good farming soil. Fountain was named an "All-America City" in 2002 by the National Civic League. It is also the home of the infamous Pikes Peak International Raceway.

Fountain continues to grow even with the horrible news that continues to pervade the media these days.  There are several areas of town with newer construction and established neighborhoods.  The town is near Fort Carson and offers those living there and working at the Post an easy commute.  Lowes and Walmart have move into town.  They expect the growth to continue.  The Colorado Springs evening news recently featured the Fountain area as defying the housing bubble drag on the economy.
