Fairview is a small place in Wayne County, Tennessee, in the United States. It is known as an unincorporated community. This means it's a settled area where people live, but it doesn't have its own separate city government like a mayor or city council. Instead, the county government manages services for Fairview.

What is an Unincorporated Community?

An unincorporated community is a bit different from a city or town. Cities and towns have their own local governments. They make their own rules and provide services like police or fire departments. An unincorporated community, like Fairview, relies on the larger county government for these things. It's still a real place where people live and work.

Where is Fairview Located?

Fairview is found in the southern part of Tennessee. It's specifically located within Wayne County. The area is part of the North American Central Time Zone, which means it shares the same time as many other places in the central United States. When you call someone in Fairview, you would use the 931 area code.
