The settlement was named after Millard Fillmore, who was president at the time.[2]

Fillmore is the location of the 1855 Saxonia House brewery, which was a gathering place for locals. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.[3]

In 1862, some of the Saxon immigrants organized the Farmington Turnverein, a German cultural association, and in 1868, they built the Fillmore Turner Hall, which still exists as an event space and banquet hall as of 2020.[4]
