The first recorded form of place names dates from 1267 as Wuchshol . This form of the name most likely indicates caves, depressions or pits that are said to have been clearly visible around 1900.

The development of the village, like most of the others in the area, is related to the settlement of Franconian and Thuringian settlers in the period from 1200 to 1250. However, this place as well as the entire ridge on which, among other things, Fuchshain is located, is said to have been settled before this colonization. Around 700 to 900, isolated settlers of Germanic descent are said to have lived here, as evidenced by stone tools that were excavated on the Fuchshainer Höhe.
Urns found in a sand pit are also supposed to indicate the sedentariness of "Sorbs" before the settlement in the 13th century.

The earliest news of the existence of a church building in Fuchshainer dates from 1521. In that year, the building was provided with a chancel on the east side, previously it consisted only of a tower and nave in the Romanesque style.

In 1816 August Schumann mentions Fuchshain in the State, Post and Newspaper Lexicon of Saxony concerning a. a .:

“It belongs in writing. to Rittergute Pomsen and has a branch church from Seyfertshain; the inhabitants, 208 in number, have 24  hooves , 56 horses, 204 cows, 882 sheep; [...]. "

Albert Schiffner added in 1828 a. a .:

“The place [...] contains a small but profitable u. As far as we know , manor Vorwerk von Pomsen with its own sheep farm , an inn, a forge and the like. s. w., has around 300 residents who also grow a lot of cabbage plants, and is said to have a clay pit . "

In 1902 the church was demolished and then rebuilt. The new church was consecrated on November 8, 1903, and the construction costs amounted to 73,059.50 marks. The organ comes from the Schmeisser company from Rochlitz .

On January 1, 1999, Fuchshain was incorporated into Naunhof.
