was created, taking up the western half of
San Juan County. Six years later, the U.S. government offered territory in the rest of San Juan County to the
Jicarilla Apache but they refused. As a result, the area was opened for settlement and a number of settlers moved into the region from Southern Colorado.
The area was originally known as "Junction City" because of the access to the three rivers.
In 1901 the town was incorporated and named Farmington with a population of 548.
By September 19, 1905, the railroad was finished connecting Farmington to
Durango, Colorado, expanding economic and settlement opportunities.

The railroad converted the line to narrow gauge in 1923. The line was abandoned in 1968 and the line was dismantled to Durango in 1969. In addition, in the 1920s there was significant investment in natural gas and oil in the area, although actual production remained low until the 1950s.
