About Fairview

Fairview sits right on the Montana-North Dakota border in the lower Yellowstone Valley. Home to around 900 residents, it is a quiet agricultural community where State Street literally runs along the state line. Daily life revolves around the local K-12 school, youth sports, and the seasons on the farm. Sugar beet fields, cattle ranching, and energy jobs drive the local economy, giving the town a steady, hardworking foundation.

Living here offers the comfort of a close-knit neighborhood alongside easy access to everyday conveniences. Sidney is a quick ten-minute drive south for healthcare, shopping, and dining, while the nearby Yellowstone River provides great spots for fishing, hunting, and outdoor recreation. First settled in the early 1900s and named for its wide valley views, Fairview is an easygoing border town where people know their neighbors and big open skies stretch in every direction.
