City Of Fairburn

Fairburn's slogan is "History Lives Here." The first thing you will notice about Fairburn is our historic downtown area. The central business district includes many buildings on the national register of historic places. The Old Campbell County Courthouse and rail depots provide a focal point for an active commercial district. The Georgia Renaissance Festival brings a quarter million people to Fairburn each year to celebrate days of chivalry. Fairburn has a rich historical culture enjoyed by our residents and visitors alike.

History of Fairburn

Fairburn's future was assured when the Atlanta and LaGrange Railroad (later to become the Atlanta and West Point Railroad) was chartered in 1849, and a depot on that line was constructed in Fairburn. One of Fairburn's oldest institutions, the "Fairburn Mason's Lodge No. 180," was founded two years later in 1852.

Fairburn's town charter was enacted by the State Legislature in 1854. The jurisdiction of the town government was set within a 600-yard radius from the railroad depot, this land then being the two counties of Fayette and Campbell.

In 1870, Fairburn's total population was 305, with 208 white and 97 black residents. By 1871, the town boasted six dry good stores; five groceries; a hotel; a printing press which produced a weekly newspaper, four saloons; factories, two marble yards, several cotton gins, and an oil mill. In addition, a private school had been started, housed in various locations. Several churches were organized, including a Baptist and a Methodist church.

In 1875, the town limits were extended to a half mile radius from the depot. There were now several steam-powered grist and saw mills, two schools and two telegraph offices. Fairburn residents offering professional services included seven physicians and five lawyers. By 1896, Fairburn was also regarded as a banking town. The Fairburn Banking Company was chartered in 1891, and two banks joined ranks and prospered. Sanborn maps from 1903 document a large amount of stone construction in the town center. The map shows that one-half of the block facing Main Street between Smith and Campbellton Streets were stone buildings. Most of these structures have survived.

Today, the downtown is a Commercial Historic District and is listed on the National Register of Historical Places. The buildings located along West Broad Street between Smith and Dodd, and those adjacent to the Atlanta and West Point railroad, are all included in this district. The district includes approximately 20 different commercial buildings ant the two train depots. They are late 19th and early 20th century buildings, ranging from one to three stories in height. The building styles range from Neoclassical to Italianate, to simple utilitarian. The Campbell County Historical Society is located in the Old Campbell County Courthouse on West Broad Street. The Courthouse is individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places as an institutional resource.
