The county history of 1902 has no passage naming this settlement, which was common for the smaller places. Its township is covered in full.

The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 14 fires within 5 miles of Fairview Heights between 1999 and 2019, burning about 6 acres in total. 1 started naturally. None was 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:

• Friendly Acres
• Harmar
• West Marietta
• Western Hills
• Marietta
• Mount Everett

Museums hold 1,264 specimens collected within 10 miles of Fairview Heights between 1853 and 1975: 1,177 Animalia, 54 Fungi, 31 Plantae, 1 Unrecorded, 1 Chromista. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A. D. Selby, A. Drew, A. L. McElhose 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.
