Farlin was founded in the 1880s. Farlin is the name of one Mr. McFarlin, an early prominent grain buyer.[1] Farlin's population was 45 in 1902.[2]
Two years later [1886] a new attempt was successfully made to establish a town nearer the center of Bistol township, the new site being named Farlin, in honor of Mr. McFarlin, a prominent grain buyer of Des Moines, who was then operating extensively along the line and who gave the citizens a long to be remembered oyster supper to christen the naming of the town.
