The Coast Miwok Indians occupied stretches along local creeks, spring and seep areas; moreover prehistoric habitations were usually chosen near permanent and seasonal drainages, typically along flat ridges and terraces. The first post office opened in 1910. Fairfax incorporated in 1931. The town was named for Lord Charles Snowden Fairfax.
Fairfax was the site of the last political duel in California, in 1861. Daniel Showalter and Charles Piercy, both former assemblymen in the state legislature, decided to settle a political dispute at the home of Lord Fairfax, a mutual friend of both. Although Fairfax provided lunch to both men and tried to talk them out of it, they eventually headed to an open field nearby and dueled, with Showalter killing Piercy.
