About Fenton, Michigan

Fenton is a city of about 12,000 that began in 1834 as 'Dibbleville' and, by local legend, got its permanent name from a poker game in 1837. Straddling three counties along US-23 (mostly Genesee, with slivers in Livingston and Oakland), it turned a downtown nearly lost to 1970s urban renewal into a lively LeRoy Street dining and shopping district. Its landmarks range from the 1856 Fenton Hotel to a community center designed by world-famous architect Eliel Saarinen.

History of Fenton

• Established in 1834 as 'Dibbleville,' after settler Clark Dibble, who came from New York and claimed 40 acres of government land.
• Platted in 1837 as 'Fentonville' by William M. Fenton, who later became Michigan's lieutenant governor.
• By legend, on August 24, 1837, William Fenton, Robert LeRoy and Benjamin Rockwell played poker to decide the town's name; Fenton won, and LeRoy received LeRoy Street as a consolation prize, with later hands naming additional streets.
