History

Rich Fountain had its start circa 1839, when John Strumpf built a gristmill there.[2] The community was named for a spring near the original town site.[3] A post office called Rich Fountain was established in 1854, and remained in operation until 1972.[4]

The Sacred Heart Catholic Church and Parsonage was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[5]
