A History of Adams County, Ohio, from Its Earliest Settlement to the Present Time, Including Character Sketches of the Prominent Persons Identified with the First Century of the Country's Growth .., published 1900 names this settlement in its chapter on Liberty Township. These are the passages that mention it, exactly as the scans read.

Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 21 fires within 5 miles of Fairview between 2003 and 2019, burning about 90 acres in total. None started naturally. 7 were recorded as arson. Distance is straight-line from the map coordinates, so a fire counted here may appear on a neighbouring settlement's page as well.

The most recent of them, most recent first, with the day each was reported and the service that recorded it.

Settlements close enough to share some of these fires:

• Clayton
• Bradysville
• Panhandle
• Bentonville
• Paradise Hills
• Evertonville

Regional context, not property-specific evidence. Museums hold 492 specimens collected within 10 miles of Fairview between 1866 and 1975: 308 Animalia, 115 Fungi, 52 Plantae, 17 Protozoa. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A JOHN, A. B. Seymour, A. Cronquist and others. Each is a physical object with a catalogue number, and each entry opens the museum's record. This is what was collected and kept, not a survey of what lives here - nothing can be concluded from a species being absent.
