The History of Tuscarawas County page 548
states:
In the southern
part of Fairfield, near the northern line of School Lot 17, in
former days was a brisk little settlement called Mount Tabor.
Samuel C. Wright first settled here in 1830. The following year,
Christian Brown built a cabin, and in a few years the place
contained a store, kept by Mr. Dempster, a grocery, a
schoolhouse, a post office and a half dozen or more dwelling
houses. When the Tuscarawas branch was built, the post office was
removed, and the impromptu hamlet gradually lost its inhabitants.
Several houses still remain to indicate the spot.
