Welcome to the Town of Fairfield!
Fairfield, Utah, boasts a rich historical tapestry woven with the pioneering spirit of its early settlers, who established the town in the early 1850s. Several men on horseback observed a spring and the level meadows in the Cedar Valley and determined this would be a good location for a settlement. Among the scouts was a man named Amos Fielding. A site was laid out and named Fairfield because of its pleasant situation and in honor of Amos Fielding who had chosen the location. The meadow land was then divided into fields and water from the spring was apportioned for farms.
Nestled amidst the picturesque landscapes of Utah County, Fairfield offers a serene escape from the bustle of city life. Its economy, rooted in agriculture and ranching, underscores the town's deep connection to the land, with residents actively engaged in farming, livestock raising and a large producer of a beef and pork Co-op. Fairfield has a wide variety of outdoor recreation including horse boarding that specializes in olympic sport dressage, a small airpark, home to the livestock used in the Circle J Rodeo, a Large firework manufacturer and many other thriving businesses. More than half of Fairfield Town's residents own their own business.
