In 1859, gold was discovered in South Park and a gold rush ensued. Various towns were founded in the gold rush, including Fairplay. Tourists can enjoy the history of the gold rush at South Park City, a town/museum just outside of Fairplay.
In modern times, South Park is best known as an animated television series. Trey Parker[?], one of the creators of the South Park series, lived for a while in Fairplay. Hence, the television series is probably named after the geographic region.
