FAIRFIELD COUNTY – Here at The Far-Land Legacy, we don’t think so. Fairfield County officially became established on December 9, 1800, just twenty-nine days after Lancaster was established on November 10. We want to take this year and reflect on the rich history of Fairfield County leading up to the Quasquibicentennial. After all we tend to only celebrate the official days, but what about all the work, blood, sweat, and tears that built up to that day. Why not take time to reflect on what led up to the proclamation during 1800 that many of these pioneers and settlers ventured west to Ohio for a different life. Take a moment to reflect about that time, 225 years ago the pioneers took on the unknown, some for adventure, some for a better life, some out of curiosity. They left their families, tradition, and the homes they knew for so many years.
