History
The city was named after Lorin Farr and Chauncey W. West, who was the son-in-law of Abraham Hoagland. The name echoes "Far West", an important early Mormon settlement in frontier Missouri. The city was led by Mayor Jimmie Papageorge.
In 2014, Wahlquist Junior High was rebuilt and moved to another location in Farr West. There is now an elementary in the northern part of Farr West named Silver Ridge Elementary, which was erected in 2020.
