Captain David Martin, a veteran of the War of 1812, received a land grant for 160 acres (0.65 km2) in Lykins County, Kansas (Miami County, Kansas) due to an 1855 congressional act. Part of this property would eventually become the townsite and rural community of Fontana. J.B. Grinnell purchased 120 acres (0.49 km2) of the property in 1869, and put Fontana in the center near a railroad right of way. The city was incorporated in 1889.
