AN ACCOUNT OF FAIRMOUNT'S HAYDAY
A glimpse of Fairmount in 1907
This book holds descriptions, strictly in rhyme,
Rich accounts of old Fairmount's earliest times.
Filled with all the old names that everyone knew,
You will learn where they worked, and how they all grew.
Each enterprise bustled back in that day,
Hotels, food, and drug stores, and places to pray.
There were banks, there were lawyers and good doctors too.
Fairmount had everything needed to thrive,
and four major railroads to keep it alive.

NEW: PDF scanned from 1907 43-page document

Welcome to the Fairmount Community

Fairmount lies in the south-eastern most part of North Dakota bordering Minnesota and South Dakota, "Where the sun shines first in North Dakota." As a community, Fairmount offers small-town serenity with many social and economic advantages. Fairmount's school system is the very model of excellence and high standards.

In Fairmount there are attractive and economical real estate purchase options. The housing market here offers a wide range of attractive and affordable existing homes as well as the choice of new custom-home design packages. Fairmount has a newly developed housing addition with prepared lots being offered for one dollar. (A buck buys a lot!)

Fairmount lies in easy commuting range of several larger communities. An hour of travel, more or less, places the sportsman in prime hunting and fishing locations.
