Fairmont is located in the southern part of Robeson County. The town has a population of 2,763, but the businesses and industries of the town actually draw upon a population between 25, and 3, from the communities surrounding the town. The population is a uniquely tri-racial mix of the African American, Native American and Caucasian races. Fairmont was originally founded on the site of the Ashpole Institute, a small private academy, and was chartered in 1899 as Union City, then Ashpole in 191 and lastly as Fairmont in 197. The first settlers to this area received land grants from the Lord's Proprietors and worked in the logging and naval stores industries producing lumber, turpentine and pitch for ships. By the late 18's, a thriving tobacco market had been established as well. The railroads later followed to rapidly move these goods. By the early 19's, tobacco became king, and by the mid-195's, Fairmont was considered one of the major tobacco markets in the world. As health concerns have affected the sales of tobacco, many local farmers have turned to other cash crops, mainly corn, soybeans and wheat.
