TOWNSHIP HISTORY.
FAIRFIELD.
The history of Fairfield dates from the first Monday in March, 1839. Pre- vious to that time, the ground now so thronged with stately business blocks, busy shops, beautiful residences, schoolhouses, churches, well-kept streets and handsomely shaded avenues, was an unbroken, undisturbed prairie waste. Fair was this primitive field when Samuel Hutton, of Henry, Joshua Owens, of Lee, and Roger N. Cresap, of Van Buren County, Commissioners appointed by legislative enactment for that purpose, came to discharge their official trust and locate the county seat of the new county of Jefferson. Pleased with the situation and its nearness to the geographical center of the county, they planted the county seat stake on the southwest quarter of Section 25, Township 72, Range 10 west, and called it Fairfield, the name, no doubt, being suggested by the natural beauty of the location.
At the first meeting of the first Board of County Commissioners, held on the 8th day of April, 1839, an order was passed directing the employment of James M. Snyder, Surveyor of Henry County, to survey and lay out the town site. The survey was commenced on Wednesday, the 17th of the same month. Mr. Snyder was assisted by Joseph M. Parker, George W. Troy, James Cole- man, David Bowman, John Payton and Sylvanus Harrington, as chainmen, etc. The quarter-section was subdivided into twenty-five blocks of eight lots each, or two hundred and twenty lots in all. The blocks were divided by six streets from north to south, and six from east to west. Block 13 was reserved for public purposes. The width of the streets around the block or square reserved for public uses was established at 883 feet, and all the others at 66 feet. The original twelve streets were named by the County Commissioners, as follows :
East and West .- Sears, Walnut, Madison, Monroe, Church and Chastain. Sears and Chastain were named in honor of two of the first County Commis- sioners ; Madison and Monroe, after two of the early Presidents.
North and South .- Smith, Williams, Washington, Jefferson, Jackson and Hueston. Smith was named after a third member of the Board of County Commissioners ; Williams, after Judge Williams; Washington, Jefferson and Jackson, after the Presidents of that name, and Hueston, after the man of that name who built the first house in the county seat of Jefferson County.
