Our Community
Welcome to Fairfax, South Carolina (Allendale County)!
Fairfax began as a very small community with two names. Its post office was called "Sanders", and the train stop was called "Campbell Station". This was before 1880, and at least six families lived there. Two of the families had the last name of Sanders - which was probably the reason for calling the post office by that name. The community was fortunate to have a railroad and continued to grow around its depot.
Fairfax has progressed along with its businesses. In 1890, Mr. G.S. O'Neal started the Standard Oil Operations in the town and supplied surrounding towns and communities with oil and kerosene. In 1940, a Town Hall, which contains the offices of the Mayor, the councilmen, and the town jail, was erected. The town has since added all the other businesses necessary to make it progressive. The town continues to grow, and its citizens hope families and businesses will continue grow with them.
