Farmington's square has a documented historic-building layer
A Missouri historic survey identifies Farmington as the original county seat and treats the courthouse-square area as a documented historic-building landscape.
Farmington’s courthouse square is not just the place where county offices sit. A Missouri historic survey describes Farmington as the original county seat of St. Francois County and surveys the central business district around that civic core.
That gives the page useful color: the county’s identity is not only mines, parks, and cleanup records. It also has an old county-seat square with a documented architectural and civic history.
When reading Farmington addresses, courthouse errands, or downtown references, treat the square as part of the county’s durable geography.
