Lots to Do and See in Farmington CT

History

White settlers from Hartford established a town site around 1640. The soil was rich and the valley location made it the ideal place for agriculture. At the time the city encompassed an enormous tract of land which was divided several times in the 18th and 19th centuries to create other communities. Despite these changes the city has worked hard to preserve its historic character. Along Main Street it’s possible to see many colonial structures, some of which were built in the 17th century.
