Fountain Run is the crossroads of three counties, located in the west corner of the county near the Barren and Allen county borders. The town features some interesting old homes, business structures and storefronts. This is a community of around 300 people. It was settled around 1800 by pioneers from North Carolina and Virginia. The community was first known as "Jamestown" but the name "Fountain Run" was later taken from several large springs in the area.
