Farmington Welcomes You!
Consider yourself officially welcomed! After touring this site, you’ll discover that our small Iowa town has a rich history but is also a progressive community with a promising future.
Visitors to Farmington, and Van Buren County, are struck by the unique beauty of the area and the atmosphere of being set apart from the rush of the every day world. Farmington is nestled in a peaceful valley at the southern edge of Van Buren County. The Des Moines River borders one side of the town, while the rolling hills and steep ridges of Shimek Forest encircle the other sides.
Of course, if you are already one of our lucky residents you know much of what we had hoped to tell you. But we hope this site will be a valuable addition to local residents and visitors alike.
