Introduction
Fairport is a small coastal community on the northwest edge of San Francisco Bay, located in Marin County just north of the Golden Gate and developed from a nineteenth-century ferry landing that gave the town its name. Set against steep hills and the open water, Fairport preserves Victorian fishermen's cottages, wooden piers, and a small working boatyard that recall more than a century of maritime life. The town serves as a quiet retreat for Bay Area residents and a base for hikers, cyclists, and sea kayakers, with Mount Tamalpais State Park, Muir Woods, and the Golden Gate National Recreation Area all nearby. It is a living specimen of Bay Area port history and coastal ecology.
