Education

A school was established here in the early 1930s. Local settler Evelyn Hall named it Fairview. The school building had two rooms and operated as a daycare center. Students were then bussed to schools in Bryan. By the end of the decade, it became a community center.[2] Today, the community is served by the College Station Independent School District.
