About Fairview

Tucked into the rolling countryside of northern Union County, Fairview offers a peaceful, rural escape about 25 miles southeast of Charlotte. With roughly 3,500 residents, the town is known for its quiet country roads, open pastures, and scenic waterways along Crooked Creek and the Rocky River. Farming in the area dates back to the late 1700s, and the community incorporated in 2002 to protect its relaxed, open atmosphere. It is a welcoming spot where large lots and wooded properties are still the standard.
