The community name was established in the mid 1800s as Delwiche because services were held in the Guillaume Delwiche family home until a church was built.[3]
In 1860, Our Lady of the Snows Catholic church was built, marking the first construction of a church in the surrounding area.[4][5]
The name was later changed to Namur (1880-1905), a name applied to the post office run by Clement Geniesse that functioned there. Then when Fairland School was built the community became known as Fairland. In 1962 the National Belgian Village committee made request to the Wisconsin Highway Commission that the unincorporated community name return to Namur.[6]
