FAIRFIELD TOWNSHIP
Pg. 470 As stated elsewhere, the Court of
Quarter Sessions, at their meeting, on Tuesday, May 10, 1803,
established Fairfield as one of the original townships. It lies
wholly within Symmes' purchase, and is bounded on the north and west by
the Miami River; on the east by Liberty and Union Townships; and on the
south by Hamilton County. All the boundary-lines of Fairfield are
irregular, except the eastern.
The history of Fairfield Township is very intimately
connected with the city of Hamilton, which place, until a few years ago,
was a part of the township proper. All the first settlers
naturally made Hamilton a trading-point for small supplies, and when
provisions of dry-goods were needed in larger quantities, Cincinnati was
visited. A load of whisky, corn, wheat, or any other commodity,
was always sure to bring a good price in the Queen City.
