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.
Please take a few moments to check out our new web site and if you are new to this area . . please plan to visit us in person soon!

IMPORTANT NOTICES:
Coronavirus Update (5/28/20):
From the Mayors Desk Famington:
Yesterday the Govenor made several changes and a new Proclamation. I urge everyone to go to coronavirus.iowa.gov you will see a tab to click on that says Proclamation. here you can read her recent one as well as all previous Proclamations.
With the additional openings starting June 1 the Stone Lodge at Indian Lake will be available with more than 10 people okay however all gatherings should be at 50% capacity with social distancing of 6 feet.
The Community Center in Farmington also will be availble to rent with the same rules and directions in place.
Also the playgrounds at Wildrose Park in Farmington as well as Indian Lake will be open as well. These are to be used at your own risk as we cannot disinfect with CDC guidlines 24 hrs. a day.
Additionally we are going to open City Hall on June 1st to the public.
I have talked with Management from The Legion and Hel-Mart. At this time they have chosen NOT to reopen with concerns of being able to follow the guidelines set forth by the Govenor and CDC.
Van Buren County stayed at 8 positive cases of Covid 19 for a long time with all recovered and I'm sorry to advise that we now have 2 additional positive cases. With this news its still critically important that we stay smart and practice the guidlines we have since mid March. Stay safe.
The water project has moved to State Street in front of Hel-Mart and the Locker with their work with good progress.
The crews at Dollar General have completed the concrete foundation, the placement of water and electrical lines within the building and look to be ready to pour the concrete floor very shortly.
Remember, if anyone needs any assistance with any issues please call City Hall 319-878-3711 and if its an emergency please call 911.
Thanks and Stay Safe,
Mayor Denly
