History

The Fondis post office operated from November 25, 1895, until July 15, 1954.[2] Ella Cox was the town's first postmaster.[3] One historical account states that the unincorporated town derived its name from Fondi, in Italy,[4] while other accounts state that it is named for an Italian Hotel, the Fondide Italia.[5] Around the turn of the twentieth century, the town had a population of 40 people and boasted several stores, including Harper's General Store operated by George Conarroe, two blacksmith shops and the Fondis Hotel, owned and operated by Will Conarroe. He also operated a cheese factory that turned out 250 pounds of cheese per day.[3][5] For 10 weeks in 1902, Fred A. Coan operated the Fondis Herald newspaper.[6]
