Fairland, Oklahoma

Fairland is a town in southern Ottawa County, Oklahoma, United States.

The town originally covered 225 acres and consisted of a few businesses and residences that had moved there from the Prairie Springs area.

[4] Agriculture remained the mainstay of the local economy until the end of World War II.

In 1945, B. F. Goodrich opened a tire manufacturing plant near Miami that became the major contributor to Fairland's economy.

The loss to Fairland's economy was offset by the opening of several communities[c] on the shore of Grand Lake O' the Cherokees.

[4] According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 0.9 square miles (2.3 km2), all land.
