Farmington Valley

Farmington Valley is a valley along the western edge of Hartford County, Connecticut, bordering Litchfield County to the west, formed by the Farmington River and consisting of lowlands and floodplain flanked by the Litchfield Hills on the west and Talcott Mountain on the east. In common usage it covers the towns of Farmington, Avon, Simsbury, Canton and Granby, though by the river watershed the term can extend across north-central Connecticut into southern Massachusetts. The Litchfield Hills mark the northern end of the Mid-Atlantic Highlands region, while the Metacomet Ridge forms the valley eastern boundary.
