Fairview, OK

When I looked in my "Oklahoma Place Names" book for Fairview, I found three towns with the name of "Fairview."

1st Fairview ... located in Beaver county, 5 miles southwest of Gate. A post office from February 21, 1888 to March 5, 1890 and it no longer is in existence.

2nd Fairview ... located in southwestern Logan county, 4 miles west of Seward. There was a post office from September 1, 1890 to April 11, 1893 and it no longer is in existence.

3rd Fairview, OK ... is one that I remember as located in Major county and is the county seat. Its post office was established April 18, 1894. It took its name from its scenic location in a pleasantly wooded valley east of the uplands forming the Glass Mountains.
