History

The region that is now Farmington was settled in 1847 by the Haight family, a Mormon pioneer family that established a farm and an inn. Five more pioneering families migrated to this region in the autumn of 1849.[2]Шаблон:Rp The region developed into an undefined community originally called North Cottonwood Settlement.[2]Шаблон:Rp In 1852, the territorial legislature picked North Cottonwood as the county seat and officially named it Farmington.[2]Шаблон:Rp Following orders from Daniel H. Wells and Brigham Young, Farmington residents built a wall around the city in 1853 under the direction of Major Thomas S. Smith. This walled townsite became known as "the Fort".[2]Шаблон:Rp Early church meetings were held in a log school and then an adobe structure.
