Pioneer History of Fairview
Is Told By Resident Writer
(By Mrs. C. H. Stone)
The city of Fairview overlooks
th e Colum bia riv er and Blue lake.
It is 7*4 m iles east of th e city lim ­
its of P o rtlan d on th e Columbia

The city lim its w ere laid out on
th e lines of the donation land
claim s of Addison D unbar. H iram

The first sto re of th e com m unity
was estab lish ed in 1882 by Milton
H osford, and around th is sto re the
city developed.
In 1883 th e late Jo h n Snover
trad ed 20 acres of land on w h at is
now the Colum bia highw ay n ear
F airview for th e sto re of Milton
Hosford. H is widow, Mrs. Ju lia
