'''Fairview''' is a city in [[Multnomah County, Oregon|Multnomah County]], [[Oregon]], United States. The population was 10,424 at the [[2020 United States census|2020 census]].<ref name="2020 Census (City)">{{cite web|title=Explore Census Data |url=https://data.census.gov/profile/Fairview_city,_Oregon?g=160XX00US4124250 |publisher=[[United States Census Bureau]] |access-date=December 31, 2023}}</ref>

==History==
Members of the [[Multnomah people|Multnomah]] tribe of [[Chinookan languages|Chinookan]] Indians lived in a village on [[Sauvie Island]] by the [[Columbia River]] (the future site of Fairview) when the [[Lewis and Clark Expedition]] visited the area in 1806. By the 1840s and 1850s, white settlers began hay, grain, and livestock operations in what would become eastern Multnomah County. Railroad tracks extended to the area by the 1890s. As the population grew, it may be assumed that residents began referring to the locale as Fairview because of the pleasing views of the nearby Columbia, the [[Columbia River Gorge]], and [[Mount Hood]], though an alternative testimony explains this name originated from the area's ideal lookout spot for approaching hostile natives.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Guyton Rees |first=Helen |title=Fairview, On Duck Lane |year=1988 |location=Fairview, Oregon |pages=4}}</ref> Since another community named Fairview already existed on the [[Oregon Coast]], the community's first post office was named Cleone until the coastal post office closed and the name was transferred to Fairview.<ref>{{cite web|title=Fairview Comprehensive Plan |publisher=City of Fairview |date=June 2004 |url=http://www.ci.fairview.or.us/Final_Comp_Plan-2004_updates.pdf |page=1 |access-date=December 7, 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110719081744/http://www.ci.fairview.or.us/Final_Comp_Plan-2004_updates.pdf |archive-date=July 19, 2011}}</ref>
