From the Mayor
Margaret Ellison
Welcome to the City of Fairhaven. Since our founding on the Black River in 1887, Fairhaven has grown into a close-knit community that still knows its neighbors. As your Mayor, I'm committed to open government, dependable services, and a website that actually helps you get things done. Look around, and if you need anything, City Hall is a call or a click away.
