History

Farwell was originally called Posen, and under the latter name was established in 1887 by a colony of Polish settlers. Some incoming Danish settlers soon found the name to their distaste, so in 1889 it was changed to Farwell, the Danish word for “good-bye”. Farwell was incorporated as a village in 1895.
