About Our Community

Welcome to Farmington, Illinois — a vibrant, family-centered community where tradition meets opportunity. Situated just 25 miles west of Peoria along scenic Route 116, Farmington offers the perfect balance of peaceful rural living and easy access to city conveniences, including the Greater Peoria Regional Airport and major highways, all within a convenient thirty-minute drive.


Known for its warm small-town charm, Farmington thrives as a place where families grow, friendships flourish, and community spirit shines. Our historic Downtown District is undergoing an exciting transformation, thanks to visionary leadership and a dedicated Tax Increment Financing initiative that supports local businesses and residential improvements alike.


Throughout the year, Farmington bursts with energy and celebration, hosting popular events such as the Spoon River Drive, festive parades on the Fourth of July, and the cherished Farmington Farmers Homecoming. These traditions bring neighbors together and showcase the lively culture that makes our city special.


Our community is proud of its excellent K-12 school complex, modern public library, welcoming places of worship, and inviting parks surrounded by friendly, walkable streets that encourage outdoor enjoyment and connection.


At Farmington, we grow families and opportunities alike. Whether you’re a long-time resident or considering making Farmington your home, we invite you to discover all the ways our community nurtures growth, connection, and a high quality of life.
