Welcome to Fairview ...
So far, we found very little information about Fairview. The little that we've found leads us believe that the community is historic.<1>
We've added Fairview to our Gazetteer with the hope that we can develop more information. We would especially like to find the location of Fairview - knowing its coordinates, we can explore things like its relationship to neighboring communities, nearby cemeteries, etc. If you can help us with Fairview, please Contact Us.
While we don't have the exact location of Fairview , we believe that it would have been located within present day Sierra County<2>.
While we don't have a date for the founding of Fairview, you might get a feel for it by knowing that the earliest mention that we've found (so far) was in a book dated 1895.
Time Zone: The area where Fairview was located is in the Mountain Time Zone (MST/MDT) and observes daylight saving time

As we work on our Gazetteer, we occasionally find mention of a community that is new to us. When we find such a community, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope of adding more information in the future.
The earliest source we've referenced which mentioned Fairview was in the book titled Business Atlas and Shippers' Guide (1895).

Footnotes ...
| <1> | We use the term 'Historic' broadly and it generally means that the community no longer exists. However, it can also mean that the community might still exist, but was significantly larger or had a more 'official' existence in the past than it does now. Unfortunately our sources of data have proven to be unreliable. If you can provide us with more specific information about Fairview, please let us know so that we can improve our accuracy. |
