Our History

Barangay Fairview was officially created as a Barangay Assembly pursuant to Presidential Decree’s (PD) 86 and 210 which was subsequently recognized as Barangay under PD 557 dated September 21, 1974 “Declaring All Barrios and Citizen’s Assemblies in the Philippines as Barangay” and by virtue of Executive Order No. 24 dated June 25, 1975 of the Mayor Norberto S. Amoranto issued pursuant to PD 557.

During the decade prior to the declaration of Martial Law in the late 1960’s, pioneer land developer B.C. Regalado and Co., in partnership with the Union of GSIS employees headed by Mr. Antonio A. Ancheta, organized and established a subdivision with approximately five hundred (500) families, named it Fairview Park. The word Fairview derives from the words per se; being far from the city or urbanization and of having a wonderful view of its wilderness covering some 312 hectares of land.

A couple of creeks crossed this wilderness and poured its clear spring water into the Tullahan River. This wilderness had to give way to the urgent demand to develop residential lots for the growing population of the cities in Metro Manila. A pioneering land developer, B.C. Regalado & Co., saw the potential of these lands and in the early 1970’s was able to convert this vast tract into a residential subdivision complete with housing units. The wilderness had come to pass and in its place is now found the Fairview Park Subdivision.

In the 1990’s up to the present, Fairview rapidly developed into a bustling community, with increased business and social activities. The entire stretch of Fairview Avenue transformed itself as one of the main arteries of Quezon City providing access for non-Fairview residents. The influx of new residents increased as new subdivisions mushroomed.
