The town of Forestville was settled in 1852 and organized in 1855, receiving this name in honor of Forest Henry, the first probate judge of Fillmore County.

Felix saw the need for a general store and stocked it with $700 worth of goods from Galena in October 1853.

[5] By the early 1900s, even the Meighen family had left Forestville, and their general store's doors were closed in 1910, marking the end of the town's life.
