History
Fairview was incorporated on July 28, 1959, under the Uniform City Manager-Commission Charter as set out in the Tennessee Code Annotated. Fairview city limits are located about one mile (1.6 km) southwest from the Nashville-Davidson County line and has two interstates passing through it (I-40 & I-840). With an average elevation of 800 feet (240 m) above sea level, Fairview is about 150 feet (46 m) higher than Nashville and surrounding suburbs, which gives Fairview the advantage of being less flood prone.
It is home to Bowie Nature Park which, at approximately 722 acres (2.92 km2), is one of the largest city-managed parks in the state of Tennessee. As a comparison, New York's Central Park is 843 acres (3.41 km2). Fairview has two Elementary Schools, Fairview, and Westwood serving over 1,000 students with grades K-5. Fairview Middle has an enrollment of 500 plus and is home to grades 6th-8th. FVHS serves over 700 students, and Fairview High School was listed as one of the top 1,000 High Schools in the US according to Newsweek Magazine. Fairview schools are part of the Williamson County School system (www.WCS.edu).
