Discover Farmington
Farmington was originally home to the Tunxis. In 1640 residents of Hartford established an English community there, making Farmington the oldest inland settlement west of the Connecticut River and the twelfth oldest in the state, drawn by the rich soil of the Farmington River floodplain. The town and river took their present names in 1645, considered the year of incorporation, and the name refers to its place in a farming district. Its boundaries were enlarged several times until it was the largest town in the Connecticut Colony, and it is called the "mother of towns" because nine other central Connecticut communities were formed from its land. Main Street in the historic village is lined with colonial houses, some from the 17th century.
More about Farmington
On May 19, 1774, residents protested the Boston Port Act by holding a mock trial, finding the act guilty of "being instigated by the devil," and hanging and burning a copy of it. George Washington passed through several times during the Revolution and called it "the village of pretty houses," and Rochambeau's French troops camped there on the way to join him. Most residents were abolitionists, several homes were Underground Railroad stations, and the town became known among escaping slaves as Grand Central Station. In 1841, after the Amistad trial, 38 Mende Africans and Cinque, leader of the revolt on the slave ship, were housed and educated in Farmington while residents raised money for their return to Africa. The Farmington Canal from New Haven to Northampton, Massachusetts, operated through the town from 1828 to 1848, and its route later became a railroad and is now a trail.
