Fun Facts For Farmington Hills

Some people can live in a community all of their lives and not know some of the true trivia facts. I thought I would make this a fun blog and just list some of the more interesting things that the residents may or may not know.

Test your knowledge and see if you know the following facts:

  • Farmington Hills was the largest City in Oakland County according to the 2007 census. At that time, there was 79,793 people within 33.3 square miles.
  • The first settler in Farmington township was Arthur Power. He was a Quaker from Farmington, New York. Arthur purchased land in 1823 which eventually became a settlement called Quakertown.
  • Farmington organized into a township in 1827; then became a village in 1866-67.
  • A small settlement was also developed in the southeast corner of the township known as Clarenceville.
  • Clarenceville today is still a school district that does service parts of Farmington Hills.
  • The City of Farmington Hills was incorporated from the village of Quakertown, the village of Wood Creek and the remainder of what was Farmington township.
  • There have been talks between the City of Farmington Hills and the City of Farmington to combine the communities; but, nothing has come of these talks as of yet.
  • 2007 estimates that there are 61,757 males and 39,540 females. The median age was 39 years old.
  • A very interesting fact is that for every 100 females over the age of 18 years, there are 91.2 males.
  • Might be a good place to come and meet a future mate if you need one………
