Farmington History

Farmington is a city located in St. Francois County, Missouri. The area where Farmington now stands was originally inhabited by various Native American tribes, including the Osage, Shawnee, and Delaware.

In 1822, a settler named John Moore arrived in the area and established a trading post. This led to the growth of a small community, which was named Farmington in 1825. The town was named after the farm owned by William Murphy, who donated land for the town's courthouse.

During the Civil War, Farmington was the site of several skirmishes and battles. The town was occupied by both Union and Confederate troops at various times during the war. After the war, the town grew rapidly as a center of commerce and agriculture.
