History
Farrar owes its development to the railroad line that was developed through the area in 1902-1903 [2] , and was consequently named in honor of one of the railroad employees involved in the creation of that line. A post office was established in 1904.[3]
Farrar's population was 42 in 1925.[4]
Education
The Bondurant–Farrar Community School District operates local area public schools.[5]
