DescriptionThe City of Farmington, named after Farmington, New York, is one of Dakota County's oldest communities and was on the map before Minnesota became a state

This "village of farms" in the heart of Dakota County was initially settled by pioneer families from New York and later by Civil War veterans who became Farmington's first merchants, manufacturers, doctors, lawyers and educators that provided goods and services to the community and the surrounding townships.

In 1872, Farmington became the second community to incorporate and organize a municipal government in Dakota County. For 132 years, Farmington has served the needs and interests of its residents by providing quality public services, personal and property protection, attractive amenities and a healthy environment.

David Schreier, Farmington Area Historical Society

Farmington is a rapidly growing city located in the south edge of the Twin Cities metropolitan area. It has an estimated 2004 population of over 18,000 people. The population doubled between 1990 and 2000. It possesses traditional downtown area, new growt housing areas, farms, open space and natural resources such as the Vermillion River

As one of the fastest growing communities in the metropolitan area, the City is proud of its agricultural heritage, its small town roots and equally proud of the many new residents, businesses and organizations that call Farmington their home. We hope that you will join us in making Farmington a great place to live, work, play and raise a family. The City Council and staff are committed to providing you with high quality, cost-effective and efficient services.
