Fairchilds is a village in Fort Bend County, Texas, United States, within the Houston–Sugar Land–Baytown metropolitan area.

[5] FM 361 starts at Farm to Market Road 1994 in Long Point to the southeast of Fairchilds.

It runs in a nearly straight line through the center of the village and continues to the northwest where it feeds into Texas State Highway 36 south of Pleak.

The Janda Country Estates and Fairchild Manor subdivisions are located to the northeast.

Big Creek, a tributary of the Brazos River, flows through the area from Pleak to the southeast, passing along the northeast edge of Fairchilds.

Theo Aderholz, August Bede and Charles Blohm founded the original settlement in 1890.

A group of Mennonites from the north established a colony in 1896 by buying property on Big Creek.

They built roads, businesses, and schools, including separate ones for white and black children.

After a malaria epidemic swept the area, the Galveston Hurricane of 1900 wrecked most of the town.

In 1990, Fairchilds had 150 inhabitants, with a cafe and three stores selling tires, feed and general goods.
