Memories of the Fairfield area / Bowen, Jerry [198] [WAYITWAS-2004-198]
Memoirs often provide valuable insight about the past that may seem of little importance when an individual first writes them. Today, with the last remains of the old company town of Cement rapidly disappearing under the onslaught of new development, a way of life is also being relegated to the dusty archives of history to be remembered only in the minds of a few old-timers and people who enjoy learning about the past.

Survey of Cultural Resources Central Fairfield Survey of Cultural Resources Central Fairfield
1982

This report presents the findings of a survey of cultural resources located within and adjacent to the proposed downtown redevelopment project area in Fairfield. Although there are no definitive project boundaries at this time, the area of potential impact is not to exceed that shown on the map entitled "Cultural Resources Survey Area -- Central Fairfield." The original historic grid of Fairfield lies entirely within the proposed project area, as do annexations of the immediate post-war period (to the north and east) and more recent annexations (to the south and west).
