==Economy==
Though in its early days Fenton was primarily a farming village, it flourished in the 20th century thanks to the Chrysler automotive plants in operation there. Though the closure of these plants in the early 2000s caused a brief economic slump, this has been eased by the town's transformation into a retail hub, due to the growing importance of Highway 141 as a major transportation route in the outer St. Louis suburbs. The Gravois Bluffs shopping area in the far south of town, with a number of chain stores, specialty shops, and restaurants, has been a major source of economic development in Fenton during the last decade or so. Construction and light manufacturing also provide an important business pillar.<ref>https://www.fentonmo.org/1151/New-Businesses-to-Fenton</ref>
