About Fairwater

Fairwater is a quiet village of about 350 residents tucked into the rolling farmland of southwestern Fond du Lac County. Founded along the Grand River in the mid-nineteenth century, it started as a small mill settlement and grew into a close-knit agricultural community. Today, it offers a peaceful rural setting where neighbors know each other and daily life moves at an unhurried pace. The village layout remains simple and compact, with quiet residential streets bordered by open fields.
