ABOUT FARMINGTON
Farmington, New Mexico, is a city nestled in the northwest corner of the state, serving as a commercial and cultural hub for the Four Corners region where New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, and Colorado meet. Known for its rich Native American and Southwestern heritage, Farmington is surrounded by the Navajo Nation, Ute Mountain Ute, and other tribal lands. The city blends modern amenities with proximity to natural and historical landmarks, such as the Bisti/De-Na-Zin Wilderness, Aztec Ruins National Monument, and the San Juan River, which is popular for world-class fly fishing. Its economy has traditionally been centered on oil and gas, but tourism, retail, and outdoor recreation are becoming increasingly significant.
Community life in Farmington is vibrant, with events like the Connie Mack World Series drawing national attention, and seasonal festivals celebrating local culture, arts, and music. The city offers a strong sense of place, with a backdrop of mesas and high desert landscapes that invite hiking, biking, and exploration. Education is supported by San Juan College, a key local institution, and efforts are ongoing to diversify the economy and support sustainable development. With its unique mix of natural beauty, cultural richness, and evolving economic base, Farmington continues to grow as both a travel destination and a place to call home.
WELCOME TO FARMINGTON
Farmington: Jolt Your Journey
We’re Proud to Call Farmington Home
There’s plenty to be proud of when you call Farmington home. This city, with a population of around 46,600, serves as the vibrant commercial and cultural center for the Four Corners region—supporting a regional population of roughly 270,000. That gives it a “small‑town feel with big‑city amenities.” Locals enjoy strong retail, medical services, arts venues, and community events, all anchored by a welcoming civic culture rooted in volunteerism, diversity, and shared purpose
Why We Love Farmington
Farmington’s natural setting and outdoor lifestyle are second to none. Situated at the confluence of the San Juan, Animas, and La Plata Rivers, and surrounded by beautiful mesas and the high desert plateau, the area delivers over 290 days of sunshine a year, abundant parks (50 + city parks), bike trails, world‑class fly‑fishing, and easy access to Chaco Canyon, Bisti Badlands, or ski destinations in Colorado. Community pride thrives in the festivals (like Riverfest and the Connie Mack World Series), the impressive public library, active civic organizations, and a thoughtful City vision focused on belonging, stewardship, and progress
Farmington Public High Schools
Farmington High School (public, grades 9–12) — the traditional high school on the west side of the city, serving around 1,800 students
Piedra Vista High School (public, grades 9–12) — located on the northeast side, opened in 1998 with an enrollment around 1,590 students
Rocinante High School (public, grades 6–12, alternative) — a smaller alternative school with around 150–180 students
San Juan College High School (public, grades 9–12, early‑college model) — smaller population (~280), focused on college readiness and performance
Additionally, just outside the Farmington Municipal district boundaries, there is:
Navajo Preparatory School — a college-preparatory boarding school serving grades 9–12 affiliated with the Navajo Nation and Bureau of Indian Education
That totals four high schools within Farmington city limits, plus Navajo Prep, which although in Farmington, operates under different governance.
