The story so far

from Wikipedia & the U.S. Census

Fairview is a census-designated place in Mecklenburg County, Virginia, United States, just north of Chase City. Some of the community is considered North Chase City . The population as of the 2010 census was 240.

Its population held steady between the last two censuses: 240 people in 2010, 237 in 2020. Half of its homes were built before 1976.

Wikipedia doesn’t have a history of Fairview yet — the old photos, dates and memories neighbors add here are how it gets written.

National Register of Historic Places

Nothing in Fairview is on the National Register yet

That’s true of most small towns. It doesn’t mean Fairview has no history, only that no one has written up a nomination. The closest listed place is More, MacCallum and Hudgins House Historic District in Chase City, 1.8 miles away.
