The village of West Farmington is located in northwestern Farmington Township.

Name and history

It is the only Farmington Township statewide, [4] though often gets confused for the city of Farmington in the southeastern part of the state.

The first residents were three families- the Wolcotts, Curtis' and Harts. The exact locations of their homesteads is lost, however one history of the region gives their former homes as near the McKay and Loveland farms. [5] A Library of Congress map shows several McKay residences concentrated around Playland Lake, close to the Southington border and a single tract of land under the name Loveland existed southwest of West Farmington Village, on a former connecting road between Ensign and Curtis-Middlefield, which no longer exists. [6]

The major swamp in the east of the town, surrounding the Grand River, was originally called the Black Ash Swamp by early Bristol and Bloomfield residents. [7] It provided major industry for a sawmill early on. The town once boasted a school, hotel, community College, opera house and restaurant- all of which are now closed, were destroyed, or otherwise were torn down. The school merged with the neighboring Bristolville School district in the 1980s, before closing in the early 2000s.

Education

School-age children from Farmington and Bristol townships attend the Bristol school system in Bristolville.

The township is governed by a three-member board of trustees, who are elected in November of odd-numbered years to a four-year term beginning on the following January 1. Two are elected in the year after the presidential election and one is elected in the year before it. There is also an elected township fiscal officer, [8] who serves a four-year term beginning on April 1 f the year after the election, which is held in November of the year before the presidential election.
