Farmington, Michigan 48335
|
|||||||||
|
Farmington is located in southern
Oakland County, just
east of the intersections of I-96 and I-275. This town was first settled
in 1824 by Arthur Power and David Smith, Quakers from Farmington New
York. First referred to as "Quakertown," this community grew as a result
of a sawmill Powers built and a strong religious commitment which
included the formation of a church in 1826 by Elkanah Comstock, the
first Baptist minister to settle in Michigan. It incorporated as a
village in 1867 and later as a city in 1926. The downtown square still
displays the well-preserved town hall, one of the early architectural
masterpieces of the area.
