History

Fairview began around 1887 when a number of local investors began purchasing land and constructing homes at the location. Most of the area in and around the community was part of Hardwick Farms, which belonged to the prominent Hardwick family, who were the founders of Hardwick Clothes and Hardwick Stove Company, two prominent businesses founded and headquartered in Cleveland. In 1955 Hardwick Field, also known as Cleveland Municipal Airport, was constructed in the western part of the community, which operated until December 31, 2013, when it was replaced by Cleveland Regional Jetport.
