Originally Tharp, it was named in 1915 (or earlier)[3] after the Fenn family.[4] Stephen S. Fenn (1820–92)[5] arrived in Florence from California in 1862 with his wife and four children.[6] He was an early settler, attorney, administrator, speaker of territorial legislature, and a territorial delegatetoCongress. His son, Major Frank A. Fenn (1853–1927),[7] also of many professions, was the speaker of the first state legislature. Frank's son Lloyd (1884–1953) also served in the legislature.[4][8][9]
An earlier settlement a few miles north, Denver, was mostly abandoned after the Camas Prairie Railroad bypassed it. A grain elevator was constructed in Fenn in 1918,[10] and an upgrade was added in 1946,[11] served by the railroad until the abandonment of its Second Subdivision line to Grangeville in late 2000.[12][13]
Fenn's population was 25 in 1960.[14]
