Fairview is a ghost town in British Columbia near the Town of Oliver. It is famous for the Fairview Hotel that burnt down in the 1900s.

There are many things that can still be visited at Fairview such as the Fairview Cemetery on Fairview Road, the stampmill on Tinhorn Creek Road, and the many mines along the mountain. The community was originally built for the goldrush in the early 20th century. Two children died from sickness and were buried at the cemetery. Visitors can even still see the Fairview jail that was moved beside the Oliver and District Museum.
