Fairmont is a city in Marion County, West Virginia, United States. Nicknamed "The Friendly City."

Established in 1820 as Middletown, later chartered by the Virginia General Assembly in 1843 as Fairmont, a contraction of "Fair Mountain."

Fairmont is "The Home of the Original Pepperoni Roll" thanks to the Country Club Bakery.

Fairmont is also the site of the first Father's Day, on July 5, 1908. Originally, the celebration was in honor of more than 200 fathers lost in the Monongah Mining disaster several months earlier. However, neither Fairmont nor the state of West Virginia chartered the holiday making it official, so several other locales have erroneously taken credit for its inception over the years.
