History

Patterson Township, which surrounds Fairmont, began to be settled in 1893, immediately after the opening of the Cherokee Outlet. The Denver, Enid and Gulf Railroad constructed a line through area in 1902. The Enid Right of Way and Townsite Company platted Fairmont on October 18, 1902. A post office was established in December of that year. Previously, residents had received mail at the Luella post office. The Arkansas Valley and Western Railway constructed a branch from Tulsa through Perry and Covington to Steen (northeast of Enid) in 1902–03. The two railroads crossed at Fairmont, making the town a hub of agricultural services. Two elevators were built along the Frisco and two along the Santa Fe.

Agriculture has been the primary economic base for Fairmont since its founding. The principal crop is wheat. Petroleum bolstered the town after oil was discovered in the county in 1916. An oil refinery was built near Fairmont. It was acquired by the Champlin Refining Company in 1925.
