From the very beginning, Farson has been a place for travelers to stop and rest. The Big Sandy Pony Express Station was located in the area. Now, the Farson Mercantile is an oasis for those who love ice cream. It has been renowned as the “home of the big cone” state wide.
The town of Farson was named for John Farson, who funded an irrigation project for Eden and Farson which allowed the area to thrive.
