Fairborn

Fairborn is a city in Greene County situated in the Miami Valley region between Dayton, Cincinnati, and Columbus. The community includes residential neighborhoods and commercial areas with convenient access to Interstate 675 and Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.

The city was created in 1950 through the merger of Fairfield and Osborn, two separate communities that joined together as one. A remarkable aspect of this union was that residents actually moved their houses during the formation process.

The name comes from joining two former villages, and you can still see this blend in the way different neighborhoods developed side by side. This creates a unique local character where older and newer sections coexist within the community.

The city is well-connected by Interstate 675, which has multiple interchanges and makes it easy to reach different parts of the community. Navigation is straightforward thanks to clear road connections to surrounding areas and major cities.

The Ervin J. Nutter Center is a venue with seating for around 11,000 people that hosts sports events and concerts throughout the year. It serves as the main gathering place for regional entertainment and draws visitors from surrounding communities.
