About Fairborn, Ohio

Fairborn is a suburb of Dayton with a population of 34,398. Fairborn is in Greene County. Living in Fairborn offers residents a dense suburban feel and a very affordable cost of living. In Fairborn there are a lot of parks. Many families and young professionals live in Fairborn.

History of Fairborn

Fairborn was formed from the union in 1950 of the two villages of Fairfield and Osborn. Fairfield was founded by European Americans in 1816[5] and Osborn in 1850. The area of the village of Fairfield was settled by European Americans before Ohio was admitted as a state. The first log cabin was built in 1799 by George Greiner. Pioneers migrating northward and westward from Kentucky and Virginia considered this area near the Mad River desirable for settlement. They were encroaching on territory of the native Shawnee, who sometimes raided the village. Settlers retaliated. No massacres were recorded but both sides engaged in taking prisoners.
