North Fairmount Community Council

Our Community

Our Current Council

Fairmount began as a sprinkling of farm homes in the early 1800s. Later as the Mill Creek valley became industrialized, the creek bed was spanned and factories were located at the base of the hill.

Today, North Fairmount sits on the outskirts of the city, tucked away in its quiet canopy of trees. Its residents know the community's worth + seek to affect positive change.
