FARMINGTON, an important railway town, "received its name from its situation in a district exclusively devoted to farming." The village was incorporated on February 12, 1872, created from a section of Empire Township, section 31, which later annexed more acreage from Empire Township as well as part of Castle Rock and Lakeville Townships. A post office was established in 1856. The village had a station serving several railroad lines.
