Fairview is the county seat of Major County, south of the Gloss Mountains. Major County is part of the STACK's northwestern reach, and its leases produce water that has to be hauled to disposal.
Fairview sits between two parts of Choate's network. Trucks come from the Seiling Yard, 32 road miles away, and the nearest Choate disposal wells are Fox #1-8, 31 road miles, and Debi Dawn #1, 31.
Your nearest Choate disposal wells from Fairview
- Fox #1-831 road miles · about 50 min
- Debi Dawn #131.1 road miles · about 55 min
- Fay SWD #1-3138 road miles · about 65 min
Trucks run from Choate's Seiling Yard, 32.1 road miles away (about 60 minutes).
Two directions for disposal
Fox #1-8 lies to the south in Blaine County, and Debi Dawn #1 to the east in Kingfisher County. Which one a Fairview load goes to depends on where the lease is: a lease east of town is often closer to Debi Dawn #1, one south of town to Fox #1-8. Dispatch picks the shorter run.
Major County roads
US-60 runs through Fairview east to west, SH-8 north to south and SH-58 south toward Canton. North of town, US-412 runs past the Gloss Mountains toward Enid and Woodward. Most of the county's leases are reached from these.

Fairview was settled after the Cherokee Outlet run of September 16, 1893, and early settler Adam Bower named it for its view across the Cimarron River valley toward the Gloss Mountains. Mennonite Brethren families from Kansas arrived soon after and remain part of the town's character. The Kansas City, Mexico and Orient Railway reached town in 1903 and built its shops and roundhouse here, and Fairview became the permanent county seat in a 1908 election. The Major County Courthouse is on the National Register of Historic Places.
Fairview High School's Yellowjackets, in orange and black, won back-to-back Class A state football championships in 2022 and 2023, going 15–0 both years: a 32–28 comeback over Gore and then a 34–8 win over Hooker. Northwest Technology Center has a Fairview campus.
The Royal Theatre on Main Street has been showing movies since 1922. The Major County Historical Society's Sand Creek Heritage Center keeps a railroad depot, a one-room school and pioneer churches on its grounds, and Gloss Mountain State Park, with its selenite-capped buttes and the Cathedral Mountain trail, is just north on US-412. Each November the town hosts what it bills as the World's Oldest Free Fly-In, and the Gloss Mountain Cruisers car show fills downtown on Labor Day weekend.
