History
editEast Fairfield was laid out in 1803.[2] With the construction of the railroad, business activity shifted away from inland East Fairfield, and the town's population dwindled.[3] A post office called East Fairfield was established in 1828, and remained in operation until 1906.[4] Today, it is home to a few small businesses, farms, as well as a church.
