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:
From the Mayors Desk Farmington Iowa
In an effort to protect our employees, residents of Farmington and citizens of our County the decision has been made to close City Hall to the public. Becky is still there and working hard to keep every thing running smoothly for our little town. You can drop payments off in the drop box and call the office during office hours Monday through Friday with any other questions, concerns, or needs. We have also decided to close the city owned Indian Lake Park to all camping indefinitely. The park office is also closed but still taking calls and emails during the business hours of 9-5. The shelter house also has been closed to all gatherings. The Park remains open to fishing and walking the trails.
With the continued closure of our bars and restaurants, we ask the public to keep the Farmington American Legion in your thoughts as they have been forced to close their doors. They have assisted this City immensely in the past with countless benefits, events and donations to this Community. I also urge everyone to help support Farmington's Bridge Cafe, our only restaurant, and order your carry out meals to be picked up at the door 319-878-4000. We need to help this establishment get through these difficult times.
