Farmington was established in 1788. The Township, now known as Farmington constituted the first sale of land made from the Phelps and Gorham tract, it being township No.11, range 3, of the great tract. It was purchased by members of the Society of Friends, or Quakers, from Berkshire, Massachusetts. Their purchase embracing also the territory now comprised in the Town of Manchester. The two townships continued to be known as Farmington until 1821 when Manchester (township No 11, 2nd range) was set off. Farmington is named after Farmington, Connecticut.
