History of Farmington
Situated in the northwestern corner of New Mexico, Farmington is the largest town in the Four Corners area.
The Navajos call it Totah, the meeting place of the waters.
In 1876 William Hendrickson led a small party of pioneers from Animas City, Colorado to a well-situated spot where the La Plata, Animas and San Juan Rivers converge.

Scattered Thoughts. . . .from Dorothy
The chamber is reviving one of its most popular events. Once called Music on the Rocks with Art, the event will be called JAZZ on the Rocks with Art! Personally, this was always one of my favorite chamber events and I’m delighted the Promotions and Special Events Committee agreed with me and wants to bring it back.
JAZZ on the Rocks with Art will be held from 7-10 p.m. Friday, June 15, at the beautiful Gateway Museum. Appetizers, adult beverages, music, a silent art auction and great fellowship will be enjoyed by all who attend. This event will allow all the lovely ladies in our community to dress up and the handsome men to be even more handsome!
A limited number of sponsorship are available for $1,000 each and Holiday Inn Express was delighted to be the first sponsor! Tickets will be $75 for a couple and $40 for individuals. In addition to looking for sponsors, the committee is looking for artists who will donate art for the silent auction. There will be limited space available for artists who would like to display their work.
The chamber is excited to bring back this event, which was enjoyed and supported by so many in our community. When you combine the great music of Keith Cochrane and his jazz ensemble with great food and beverages — and combine that with amazing art and the nicest people in the community, you just know it will be an event to remember and to enjoy!
For more information, call the chamber at 325-0279.
In this issue of the Tribune, you’ll find statistics and information from the Small Business Development Center, located in the Quality Center for Business at San Juan College. The chamber is fortunate to be able to visit with countless people each year, who have a dream of opening their own business and making that dream become a reality. We ALWAYS encourage them to visit Carmen and Alicia at the SBDC for guidance in setting up a business plan, do a marketing analysis, find financing and all the little things about owning a business that people need to know in order to succeed.
The SBDC is amazing and their services are little to no cost to those who take advantage of them. It’s not just new businesses that benefit from the SBDC, however. Carmen and Alicia have helped businesses expand and grow, which means helping provide more jobs to our local economy.
If you’re thinking about opening a new business or expanding an already successful one, call Carmen or Alicia at 505-566-3533. It’s a call that could help you make that dream come true and start you on the path to success!
Also in this issue of the Tribune is a flyer about the upcoming Up With People presentation at 7:30 p.m., Friday, February 17 at the Civic Center. This event will be one you’ll want to share with the entire family. Tickets are $15 for adults and $12 for students, seniors and children. They are on sale now at webtrac.fmtn.org. Don’t miss this exciting event.
