History

Fairview was established as a Black farming community in the 1930s and lasted for several decades. A Baptist church was established in 1945 and was built that next year. Allen Smothers was the owner of a grocery store in the mid-20th century. There were no population estimates available for the community in 2000.[2]

Geography

Fairview is located on Texas State Highway 21, 4 mi (6.4 km) southwest of downtown Bryan in western Brazos County.[2]

Education

A school was established here in the early 1930s. Local settler Evelyn Hall named it Fairview. The school building had two rooms and operated as a daycare center. Students were then bused to schools in Bryan. By the end of the decade [which?], it became a community center.[2] Today, the community is served by the College Station Independent School District.
