Farmington
About the area
Farmington has served as the Davis County seat since 1852, settled in 1847-48 by Hector C. Haight and incorporated in 1892. The Farmington Main Street Historic District preserves fieldstone pioneer architecture dating to the 1860s alongside a city that today counts approximately 25,000 residents. No other Davis bench city matches Farmington's range of housing: Station Park-area townhomes by Sego Homes start around $489,000; citywide averages were roughly $682,000 in early 2026, with sold medians near $703,000 in late 2025; new construction medians tracked around $730,000; and custom Oakridge bench estates run higher still. Farmington also carries the most active new-construction pipeline in the cluster. Station Park anchors the walkable town center, and Lagoon Amusement Park—150 acres, 11 coasters, open since 1896—sits within city limits.
