FAIRVIEW
Fairview is a suburb of Johannesburg, South Africa. It is a small suburb found on the eastern edge of the Johannesburg central business district (CBD), with the suburb of Troyeville to the north, Jeppestown to the south and Malvern to its east. Commissioner Street, the main street in the CBD, has its eastern end in the suburb.
The suburb is situated on part of an old Witwatersrand farm called Doornfontein. This small suburb has it origin in the year of 1895 or early 1896 and was known either as Fairview or Fawcus Township. The land was owned by a man called George E. Fawcus who was married to a coloured woman and sometime after 1903, had made enough money off the land and so retired to Trinidad and Jamaica. He would sell the suburb to J.G. van Boeschoten and J. Lorenz. In the Johannesburg newspaper, The Star, stands were being advertised for sale during November 1896 for an average price of 300 but some were priced as high as 450. On the return of Fawcus'' wife from the Caribbean in 1912 after her husband''s death, she attempted to have the suburb renamed to Fawcus Township but was not successful.
