Fairview is an unincorporated community in Rush and Fayette counties, in the U.S. state of Indiana.[1]

History

[edit]

Fairview was established as a town in about 1828.[2] An old variant name of the community was called Grove.[3]

The Rush County side of Fairview contained a post office from 1830 until 1835.[4] The post office was removed to the Fayette County side in 1835, and was discontinued the following year, in 1836.[5]
