History
Fossil was founded in 1876 by a group of settlers from the nearby town of Condon. The town was named after the nearby fossil beds, which were discovered by the settlers. The fossils found in the area were mostly of extinct animals, such as mammoths and mastodons.

In the 1950s, the coal industry began to decline, and the town's population began to decline as well. In the 1970s, the town was revitalized by the development of a new industry: tourism.
