East Fairfield is an unincorporated community in Fairfield Township, Columbiana County, Ohio, United States.[1] The community is located at the intersection of Ohio State Routes 7, 517, and 558.

History

East 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.
