=== Indigenous ===
The Indigenous people of the Fountain Valley area are the [[Tongva]]. The closest village to present-day site of the city was the village of [[Pajbenga|Pasbenga]]. The village was part of a series of villages along what the Spanish would refer to as the [[Santa Ana River]].<ref name=":4">{{Cite web |last1=Greene |first1=Sean |last2=Curwen |first2=Thomas |title=Mapping the Tongva villages of L.A.'s past |url=https://www.latimes.com/projects/la-me-tongva-map/ |access-date=December 8, 2022 |website=www.latimes.com |language=en}}</ref><ref name=":1">{{Cite book |url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/745176510 |title=Catalysts to complexity : late Holocene societies of the California coast |date=2002 |publisher=Cotsen Institute of Archaeology at UCLA |others=Jon Erlandson, Terry L.

=== Spanish ===
European settlement of the area began when [[Manuel Nieto (soldier)|Manuel Nieto]] was granted the land for [[Rancho Los Nietos]], later [[Rancho Las Bolsas]], which encompassed over {{convert|300000|acre|km2}}, including present-day Fountain Valley. Control of the land was subsequently transferred to [[Mexico]] upon independence from [[Spain]], and then to the [[United States]] as part of the [[Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo]].

===Talbert===
'''Talbert''' was a settlement at what is now the intersection of Talbert and Bushard. It was also known as Gospel Swamp by residents.

Thomas B. Talbert was born outside [[Monticello, Illinois|Monticello]] in [[Piatt County, Illinois]], in 1878. When Talbert was 13, his family moved to [[Long Beach, California]]. Around 1896, the family purchased more than {{convert|300|acre|ha}} of peat and swampland in what is now Fountain Valley. The Talberts opened a general store and thus the settlement of Talbert was established.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Person |first1=Jerry |title=A LOOK BACK:Telling the Talbert story |url=https://www.latimes.com/socal/daily-pilot/news/tn-dpt-xpm-2007-01-18-hbi-lookback18-story.html |access-date=July 23, 2020 |publisher=Daily Pilot |date=January 18, 2007}}</ref>

The area was full of farms growing beets that were processed at some of the nation's largest plants at Huntington Beach (Holly Sugar Plant) and at Delhi, now part of southwestern Santa Ana. The post office was established in 1899, with Thomas B. Talbert serving as the first postmaster.<ref>{{cite news |title=New California Postoffices. |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/55939146/new-california-postoffices/ |access-date=July 23, 2020 |work=Los Angeles Times |date=December 3, 1899}}</ref>

The All-Saints Church is the only structure remaining from that era. The [[Santa Ana–Huntington Beach Line]] of the [[Pacific Electric Railway]] passed through Talbert and opened on July 5, 1909.<ref>{{cite news |title=Nation's Natal Day and Opening of Electric Line Jointly Celebrated |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/55938685/nations-natal-day-and-opening-of/ |access-date=July 23, 2020 |publisher=Santa Ana Register}}</ref>

===Incorporation===
The city was incorporated in 1957. The name of Fountain Valley refers to the very high [[water table]] in the area at the time the name was chosen, and the many corresponding [[Artesian aquifer|artesian wells]] in the area. Early settlers constructed drainage canals to make the land usable for agriculture, which remained the dominant use of land until the 1960s, when construction of large housing tracts accelerated.<ref>{{cite web|title=History of the City of Fountain Valley|url=http://www.fountainvalley.org/visitors/facts/history.html|work=Official website|access-date=December 29, 2007|archive-date=December 25, 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071225110246/http://www.fountainvalley.org/visitors/facts/history.html|url-status=dead}}</ref> The first mayor of Fountain Valley was [[James Kanno]], who with this appointment became one of the first Japanese-American mayors of a mainland United States city.<ref name=urashima>{{cite book|last1=Urashima|first1=Mary F.

After the [[Fall of Saigon]] in 1975, there was a large influx of [[Vietnamese American|Vietnamese]] [[Vietnamese boat people|refugees]] settling in Fountain Valley, especially in the late 1970s and throughout the 1980s, forming a large percentage of [[Asian Americans]] in the city.

==Geography==
The city is located southwest and northeast of the [[Interstate 405 (California)|San Diego Freeway]] (Interstate 405), which diagonally bisects the city, and is surrounded by [[Huntington Beach]] on the south and west, [[Westminster, California|Westminster]] and [[Garden Grove, California|Garden Grove]] on the north, [[Santa Ana, California|Santa Ana]] on the northeast, and [[Costa Mesa]] on the southeast. Its eastern border is the [[Santa Ana River]].

According to the [[United States Census Bureau]], the city has a total area of {{convert|23.4|km2|sqmi|1|abbr=on}}, 0.14% of which is water.

== Economy ==
As a [[suburb]]an city, most of Fountain Valley's residents commute to work in other urban centers. However, in recent years, the city has seen an increase in commercial jobs in the city, with the growth of a commercial center near the [[Santa Ana River]] known as the "Southpark" district.

Although the economy of the area was once based mainly on agriculture, the remaining production consists of several fields of [[strawberry|strawberries]] or other small crops, which are gradually being replaced by new office development. Efforts to bolster economic activity are evidenced by the city enacting policies to benefit small businesses, and even going so far as to paint a mural on the facade of a large water treatment building facing the freeway that depicts two shopping bags headlined by the words, "Shop in Fountain Valley."<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.fountainvalley.org/businesses/ShopinFV.php |title=Shop in FV |access-date=October 28, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101027215847/http://fountainvalley.org/businesses/ShopinFV.php |archive-date=October 27, 2010 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

Fountain Valley is home to the national headquarters of [[Hyundai Motor America]]<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2003-apr-23-me-gift23-story.html|title=Hyundai to Help Keep Music in Fountain Valley Schools|last=Luna|first=Claire|date=April 23, 2003|work=[[Los Angeles Times]]|access-date=March 21, 2009}}</ref> and [[D-Link]] Corporation, the global headquarters of memory chip manufacturer [[Kingston Technology]], and the corporate headquarters of [[Surefire|Surefire, LLC]], maker of military and commercial flashlights. The Southpark commercial area is also home to offices for companies such as [[D-Link]], [[Starbucks]], Satura and the Orange County Register. There are also a limited number of light industrial companies in this area. In addition, Fountain Valley is the location for Noritz, a [[tankless water heater]] manufacturer, and the main west coast offices of [[Ceridian]], a [[professional employer organization]].

The increasing commercial growth can be evidenced by the frequent rush-hour traffic bottlenecks on the San Diego (405) Freeway through Fountain Valley.
