History & History Related Items Fairview history: A history page for Fairview Fairview was founded soon after the re-settlement of Mount Pleasant, which is nearby. It has many picturesque pioneer-vintage buildings. While gathering wild hay here in early 1859, several men wrote to Brigham Young for permission to settle in the area. He responded that if there was enough water, they could create a settlement. A meeting was held in nearby Mount Pleasant in October 1859 and about twenty families prepared to move. They surveyed a site and quickly built a community meeting house for multiple uses. They planted trees and put up fences and the community began to expand. A post office opened in 1864 and changed the name from North Bend to Fairview because of the great view to the south. They could even see Manti which was 30 miles away. In the mid 1860’s, Indian troubles caused some to move back to Mount Pleasant for protection, but the ones who stayed built a rock fort around the center of town. After the turmoil was settled, development began again. The railroad arrived in the 1890’s bringing with it more opportunity for growth. While many other parts of the country have downgraded their reliance on agriculture, the Fairview area has continued to have agriculture and livestock raising at the top of the economic tree. Sheep appear to be the leading cash producers for the area rather than cattle or turkeys.
