Farrellton village, along the Gatineau River, is located north of Wakefield and crossed by Highway 105. A village that currently has a school, church and community center, Farrellton was founded by Patrick Farrell who welcomed settlers going up north. He opened a general store where all travelers stopped before entering the harsh land and still sparsely populated. Was given the name "Farrell Town" this part of the country where there was a small group of Irish settlers. The village prospered, it  had more than one school and a church, a blacksmith, a sawmill and even a butter factory.

The name Farrellton dates back to the rail, when the station named in honor of the undertaking colonial. Can still be seen today in Farrellton, the general store established by Mr. Farrell earlier this century. Here also a covered bridge was built in 1914 to connect the banks of the Gatineau river. This bridge was replaced in 1970 by a stronger bridge, this bridge is found today in the center of the village.
