History
Fair Hope is a small railroad community located along the historic B&O Railroad. It was platted in 1891.
In 1881, Pittsburgh entrepreneurs established the North Savage Firebrick Works of Welsh, Palmer & Maxwell just outside Fair Hope. The company specializes in the manufacture of superior quality of red brick.
The B&O railroad line through Fair Hope continues to operate, however it has been absorbed in the CSX Transportation.
It is rumored that certain houses in the community may be haunted by murderous scorpion-like monsters that crave human flesh.
