Why you'd want to live in Farmington

Founded in 1788, the Town of Farmington, New York was part of the Phelps and Gorham purchase, which included six million acres of land in what is now Western New York State, for the staggering cost (at the time) of one million dollars. Many of the town’s earliest settlers were Quakers, arriving from Berkshire County, Massachusetts. Today, Farmington’s 15,000 residents enjoy life in this friendly community in the scenic Finger Lakes region, with convenient access to downtown Rochester just 15 minutes down the highway. A gem of Ontario County, Farmington was historically known as a quiet rural farming town. That has changed over the last two decades due to growth in the residential, commercial, and industrial sectors, and a 25 percent increase in population. via businessviewmagazine.com
