A Look Back: The History of East Fairfield
East Fairfield was first planned and settled way back in 1803. For a while, it was a busy spot. However, things changed when railroads became popular. New towns grew up along the railway lines, and businesses started moving away from places like East Fairfield that were not on the railroad. This caused the number of people living in East Fairfield to become smaller over time.
The Post Office and Today
A post office was opened in East Fairfield in 1828, helping people send and receive mail. It stayed open for many years, until 1906. Even though it's much smaller now, East Fairfield is still home to a few small businesses, farms, and a church. It remains a peaceful part of Ohio's history.
