ETCGT - #10 - West Farmington Letterbox Hybrid

Farmington Township, located in northwest Trumbull County, originally called Henshaw, played an important role in Trumbull County history. Farmington had eleven original owners and changed hands many times until finally most of it belonged to Solomen Bond. It was originally named Henshaw as Samuel Henshaw was one of the original owners. The name Farmington was given to the township by E. P. Wolcott who before coming to Trumbull County lived in Farmington, Connecticut.

Today, Farmington still remains as one of Trumbull County’s townships. It has grown from a township of a few to close to one thousand. Even though it is small it has not lost its identity as a prosperous township. Many small businesses are in operation as well as several small industries. If the early settlers of Farmington could pay a visit to this small northeast township that was known to them as Range 5, Township 6, and called Henshaw and later Farmington, I am sure they would be very proud of the accomplishments that it has had in the last one hundred seventy-one years.
