Hope this is interesting to all. I learned some things and remembered stories I had heard. In 1921, the people of Osborn had solved their problem by deciding to move their village to land bordering Fairfield on the east. For this purpose, the Osborn Removal Company was organized. The villagers packed up their belongings and the buildings were moved to the new location -- "roof and rafters" as the saying goes. Everything was moved but the basements. Buildings were set on new foundations, new sites, along side of the village of Fairfield. Twin cities were created overnight. Beginning in 1921, we had the two villages -- Fairfield and Osborn -- close neighbors for a twenty-eight year period. Each kept its separate identity, having its own government, town council, post office, and such things as are necessary in any community. Both communities prospered, however, the fate of Fairfield was certain. The community could not grow -- there was no place to go. The village of Osborn on the east; the flying field and supply depot on the west; on the north was the Greene County line adjacent to the Clark County line, and to the south was another township line. The flood plain on one side, and foothills to the southwest. The finish of the two separate villages was a matter of time. It came when the registered voters of the twin villages voted to merge and form a new village. The vote was decisive in favor of the merger in 1949. The charter for the new village was delivered on January 1, 1950, and the name of the new village of Fairborn came into being. As far as is known, Fairborn is the only city in the State of Ohio, or the United States of America, or in the world with its name.
