Few towns in Texas have a history as closely tied to their role as a county seat as Fairfield. Founded in 1851, it remains the seat of Freestone County, where the 1919 Freestone County Courthouse gives the central square its civic focus. Fairfield stands in the Post Oak Savannah, a transition zone of oak woodland and open pasture between East Texas and the Blackland Prairie. Interstate 45 and U.S. Route 84 meet here, placing the town on a well-used north–south and east–west route through the state.
