Fairfax, South Carolina. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Fairfax is a town in Allendale County, South Carolina, United States. The population was 2,025 at the 2010 census, a loss of over one-third of its population of 3,206 from 2000.
Initially it was a part of Truro Parish, and became a part of Fairfax County when the County was established in 1742. When Fairfax County was first formed, a court was established at a place called Freedom Hill near the present-day Tyson's Corner. The court remained there for only ten years, and was relocated to Alexandria in 1752 because of the growing importance of Alexandria as a port city and for protection from Indian raids.
