Fosterville, one of the earliest Rutherford County settlements, was named after settler John Foster, who established a trading post and home in the area during the 1830s. In the 1850s, the community became a railroad stop for the Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad, and the village shifted closer to the railroad.
