Fairview is a small census-designated place on the boundary between Christian and Todd counties in the western part of the U.S. state of Kentucky.

The community was likely first established by Samuel Davis, a Revolutionary War veteran who settled on the Todd County side around 1793.

[5] The Davis family remained in the area until 1810, when they relocated to the Bayou Teche in St. Mary Parish, Louisiana.

[5] In the 1880s ten Fairview locals purchased the old Davis property as a new home for Bethel Baptist Church.

Working with Jefferson Davis, the buyers ceremonially deeded the lot to him, and he in turn donated it to Bethel Baptist Church on March 10, 1886.
