Fountain: Small City, Military Roots, Southern El Paso County
Fountain sits about fifteen miles south of Colorado Springs in El Paso County, along the corridor where Interstate 25 runs toward Pueblo. The town was incorporated in 1903 and grew slowly for decades as a ranching and farming community. The arrival and expansion of Fort Carson to the north transformed the local economy and demographics. Many residents are connected to the military in some capacity, whether as active-duty soldiers, veterans, or civilian workers on base.
The population is approaching 28,000. Fountain Creek, the waterway that gives the town its name, flows through the area on its way south toward the Arkansas River. The town has a compact downtown with a handful of local businesses, while newer commercial development has spread along Highway 85/87. Fountain Mesa Road and the streets branching from it contain the bulk of the residential areas.
Fountain's schools fall under the Fountain-Fort Carson School District, which serves military and civilian families alike. The surrounding landscape is open prairie, flat and dry, with the Front Range rising to the west. Pikes Peak is visible from most parts of town on clear days. The community hosts an annual Fourth of July celebration that draws residents from across southern El Paso County.
