New Fairview is a city in Wise County, Texas, United States, with a portion extending into neighboring Denton County. The population was 1,386 in 2020.[4] Growing from a settlement called Illinois Community (the main highway through the city, Texas Farm to Market Road 407, is named Illinois Lane in remembrance), the city was called Fairview until 1999, when it was changed to distinguish it from several other cities named Fairview in Texas. In order to maintain a quieter, more rural atmosphere, residential lots are legally limited to a minimum size of one acre.
