Fairview

Common American town

Fairview is among the most common place names in the United States, applied to hundreds of towns, neighborhoods, and cemeteries.

The name promises exactly what it says—a pleasant view—making it a perennial favorite for developers and settlers naming new communities.

Its very ubiquity has made it somewhat generic, suggesting a modest, unremarkable American locale.
