More obscure than most. Not listed in the GNIS database. Durham said it was a short-lived post office (less than a year in 1879) located at the Pacheco railroad station on the Northwestern Pacific RR. Everything I can find online appears to draw from this incorrect Wikipedia article. As has been pointed out many times before, the presence of a post office is not a guarantee of a community. Clearly not a community and not notable.

Delete - I did a little better with turning up coverage
[1], but besides that the post office only lasted four months, making it the shortest-lived in the county, the coverage doesn't look substantial. Fairly clearly a 4-class post office, not a community.

Redirect to
Ignacio, California . The place had a post office. Redirecting is better than deleting because if in the future, someone attempts to recreate the article, they might just end up updating the
Ignacio, California article. As Fairford is in the GNIS and presumably in lists of post offices, it is likely to be recreated.
