When pioneer A.J. Bower looked across the beautiful valley between the Cimarron River and the Gloss Mountains he was inspired to call his new home Fairview. Today, Fairview is a great place to visit and a great place to  live. Fairview is the county seat for Major County. Major County also includes several other active communities. Cleo Springs, is the closest town to the historic Sod House and home of the Labor Day Watermelon Festival. East of Fairview is Ringwood, which has a community fair the end of each August, and Ames which celebrates Ames Day with family games, and a fireworks display. Meno and Isabella, regularly host activities to support community projects. Chester celebrates the Fourth of July with a fun day at the park. Rural America is alive and well and invites you to join in the fun in Major County.

Travelers seeking a unique historical experience will want to visit Fairview—home of one of the largest Mennonite populations in the state, the Mennonite Brethren Church has a 500-seat capacity, a manual 13-pipe organ and beautiful stained-glass windows. The church secretary will give tours upon request and visitors are welcome to attend Sunday services. 

The people of Fairview take pride in their western heritage and the traditions of their oil and agriculture industries—they host a number of 5 7 special events to share these traditions with visitors.

Repeatedly, visitors and alumni list our small town atmosphere as a definite asset. Our hospital located in Fairview is strong and vital. Our businesses are progressive. A consistent downtown beautification program is the norm. We offer a variety of shopping  including retail, service and specialties such as boutiques, an old fashioned soda fountain, and eating establishments. 

Fairview Fellowship Home and Village retirement facilities are the best Oklahoma offers, with a fully staffed nursing home and medium priced individual retirement apartments.  Fairview Municipal Hospital, which offers outpatient specialty clinics and highly qualified health care providers, is located close by.

Our school systems (Aline-Cleo, Cimarron Schools (includes Ames area & Meno area) Fairview, and Ringwood) are second to none and provide a strong base to build good character and morals. Test scores remain consistently high. Students regularly receive recognition for individual and group academics and sports. Our local vocational technology center  (Northwest Technology Center) offers quality adult education as well as technical training for high school students.
