Welcome to Farmington Community Center!!! The Farmington Community Center is located in Farmington N.C., a historic community. Daniel Boone and his wife Rebecca settled along Sugar Creek, which is located about two miles from the community center. The area was also visited by General Cornwallis, during the Revolutionary War. An area in Farmington, known as "Pudding Ridge", was named by General Cornwallis because of it's pudding-like soil. The soldiers were stationed there during a rainy season and had commented that the soil was like pudding on their boots. Farmington was founded by George Wesley Johnson in 1837. George was a descendant of the William Johnson family who settled on land which was later sold to William N. Reynolds in 1921. The area is now called Tanglewood Park. George Wesley Johnson crossed the Yadkin River to start his own family and open a store, which he named Farmington. Later, the town would take on the name Farmington as well and would consist of a general store, post office, doctor's office, furniture store, two churches, and a school. The Farmington Community Center is located in the building that was once housed the old Farmington School. We are dedicated to preserving what is left of the old school and use it in ways that will best benefit the community. |
