Bathrooms in a town that took nearly two centuries to incorporate
Fletcher's settlement dates to 1795, when Samuel Murray first settled the area, but the town went by Murrayville, then Shufordsville after postmaster Jacob Rhyne Shuford in 1837, and finally Fletcher in 1886 for postmaster Dr. George Fletcher — yet it wasn't formally incorporated until 1989. That gap between settlement and incorporation means the housing stock spans a much wider range of eras than the town's young municipal age would suggest.
What that long settlement history means for a bathroom remodel
A bathroom remodel in Fletcher can turn up plumbing from almost any decade of the 20th century, since homes were built continuously through the Murrayville, Shufordsville, and Fletcher name changes long before the town had its own building department. Knowing roughly when a specific home was built matters more here than assuming a single "incorporation-era" standard, since incorporation came so late relative to the area's actual settlement.

What a Fletcher remodel inquiry should include
Share the home's approximate age or era if known, since Fletcher's plumbing stock reflects nearly two centuries of settlement rather than the town's recent 1989 incorporation date.
Where to check Fletcher's permit history
Fletcher's unusually long gap between its 1795 settlement and its 1989 incorporation is a useful thing to keep in mind when researching which permit and code records exist for an older home here.
