• Notes

  Farmington Hills is the second largest city in Oakland County in the U.S. state of Michigan and a northwestern suburb of Detroit. The first white settler in what became Farmington Township was a Quaker from Farmington, New York, named Arthur Power. He purchased land in 1823, left, then returned in 1824 with a group of family and associates to clear the land. The settlement became known as Quakertown. A post office was established Quakertown in January 1826 with the name of Farmington. Shortly, the township of Farmington was organized in 1827. In 1839 a post office named East Farmington was established but it only lasted for three years. In 1847, a post office named North Farmington was established a mile south of the township line as Wolcott's Corners. After the death of postmaster Chauncey D. Walcott in 1865, the office moved to the township line in the northeast quarter of section 4 (near the intersection of 14 Mile Road and Farmington Road). The settlement incorporated as the village of Farmington in the winter of 1866-67. A fire on October 9, 1872, destroyed many buildings in the center of the village. Farmington incorporated as a city in 1926. Farmington Hills initially was part of the city of Farmington but it incorporated as a seoarate city in 1973. [6]
