The landscape around Fairfield is a dry, open reach of Cedar Valley, which has shaped both the settlement’s sparse layout and the agricultural use of its land. This small community in western Utah County is closely associated with Camp Floyd, a U.S. Army post established in 1858 during the Utah War. For a short time it ranked among the country’s largest military installations, before being abandoned in 1861 as troops were needed for the Civil War. Camp Floyd State Park preserves the site and the nineteenth-century Stagecoach Inn, recalling the road traffic that once passed through the valley.
