John Stoner began farming in what would become Fitchburg in 1837. Immigrant brothers William, George and Joseph Vroman from the Netherlands are claimed to be the first permanent settlers in 1839. Established as the Town of Greenfield in 1847, the name was changed to Fitchburg in 1853 to avoid confusion with Greenfield, Milwaukee County. The name Fitchburg was chosen by Ebenezer Brigham, after Fitchburg, Massachusetts. A significant number of Irish families settled in Fitchburg as well.
As the city of Madison began to encroach upon the town of Fitchburg via annexation, the town pursued incorporation as a city to halt Madison's expansion into the town. The fight to allow incorporation ultimately went to the Wisconsin Supreme Court, which ruled in favor of Fitchburg. Fitchburg then incorporated as a city on April 26, 1983.
On October 31, 2022, the remaining disconnected parts of the Town of Madison were absorbed into the cities of Madison and Fitchburg. The dissolution finalized a cooperative boundary plan agreed upon by the three municipalities in 2003 to end decades of annexation disputes and orderly transition services.
