'''Fairview Park''' is a city in [[Cuyahoga County, Ohio]], United States. The population was 17,291 at the [[2020 United States census|2020 census]]. A suburb of [[Cleveland]], it is a part of the [[Greater Cleveland|Cleveland metropolitan area]].

== History ==
{{more citations needed section|date=June 2024}}
Fairview Park was originally part of [[Defunct townships of Cuyahoga County, Ohio|Rockport Township]], later the Rocky River [[Hamlet (place)|hamlet]]. The hamlet was incorporated as a village in 1903 and was split in 1910, with the northern part of the region becoming Rocky River and the southern part assuming the name Goldwood. Part of the Goldwood Township was later annexed to Rocky River and Goldwood would subsequently be incorporated as a separate village. Afterwards, Goldwood was split into two regions. A large portion of the land to the north became the Village of Fairview (later Fairview Village). Meanwhile, the remaining land located in the southwest corner and land along [[U.S. Route 20 in Ohio|Center Ridge Road]] remained as Goldwood and was later incorporated as a village. By 1925, the remaining Goldwood region was renamed Parkview.

Both Fairview Village and Parkview remained small suburbs of its neighboring Cleveland (which had annexed most of what was [[West Park, Cleveland|West Park]] in 1923). In 1929, an economic recession in Fairview led to consideration of [[Municipal annexation in the United States|annexation]] to Cleveland. However, the plan never went to the ballot and Fairview maintained its independence. In 1948, Fairview became Fairview Park. Much of the growth of this region did not take place until after [[World War II]].<ref name="Case1">{{cite web|title=Fairview Park|work=Encyclopedia of Cleveland History|publisher=Case Western Reserve University|last=Roy|first=Christopher|date=January 16, 2023|url=https://case.edu/ech/articles/f/fairview-park|access-date=June 9, 2024}}</ref> Most notably, the village began attracting former Cleveland residents when Fairview Shopping Center opened in 1947 on Lorain Road. In 1950, the village's size exceeded 5,000 at 9,234 and became the City of Fairview Park. The first city charter was adopted in November 1958. The remaining Parkview region was later annexed to Fairview in 1967.<ref name="Case1"/>
