Farmington is transforming faster than anyone realizes. While most people are just now noticing the cranes and construction fences, I've been tracking every permit, every lease, and every city council vote for months. This newsletter exists because you deserve to know first. Whether you own property here, live here, or are thinking about it β€” this is your insider edge. Let's dig in.

Deep Roots

The History Behind the Boom

Before Station Park, before the FrontRunner, before the apartments β€” this land had a remarkable story.

Pioneer Farmington 1847
1847–1848

Hector C. Haight: The First Settler

Shortly after the Mormon Pioneers arrived in the Salt Lake Valley in 1847, Hector C. Haight traveled north to graze cattle in Farmington's lush lowlands. He built a log cabin and became the first documented settler of what would become Farmington City.

Richards Dairy Farm
1850s–Present

The Richards Family Legacy

The Richards family β€” nephews of LDS Apostle Willard Richards β€” built the Old Rock Grist Mill in the 1850s and established the Richards Jersey Farm, which operated for five generations. The Old Rock Mill was purchased by Farmington City in 2023 to preserve this irreplaceable pioneer landmark.

Station Park
2008–Today

Station Park: The Transformation

Where the Bamberger Electric Railroad (1891–1959) once ran and farm fields stretched to the horizon, CenterCal Properties broke ground in August 2008 on a 62-acre transit-oriented development. Today, Station Park is the Salt Lake region's leading mixed-use lifestyle center with 200+ tenants.
