The community of Farmington is called the “mother of towns” because its area was divided to create nine central Connecticut cities.  Nestled in the Farmington River Valley region, the town features historic landmarks, sprawling fields and farmland, and village-style shopping areas.  Home of the multi-facility complex of the University of Connecticut Health Center, the town balances quiet suburban living, flourishing industry, and unspoiled nature.  Exceptional leisure attractions and recreational facilities, national blue ribbon award-winning schools, the Tunxis Community-Technical College campus, attractive housing options, and fine museums combine to place Farmington in a class of its own for quality of life.
