Farmington was originally inhabited by the Tunxis Indian tribe. In 1640 a white settlement was established by residents of Hartford, making it the oldest inland settlement West of the Connecticut River and one of the oldest communities in the state. They found the area ideal for settling because of its rich soil, location along the Farmington River, and valley geography. The town and river were given their present names in 1645, which is considered the incorporation year of the town. The boundaries were later enlarged several times, making the town by far the largest in the Connecticut Colony. It has been called the "mother of towns" because its area has been divided to produce nine central Connecticut communities. Located in the picturesque Farmington Valley, Farmington is steeped in history. Main Street, in the historic village section, is lined with colonial estates, some dating back to the 17th century. -- Source: Wikipedia.com
