== History ==
The hamlet was previously called "Log Mills" when it was first settled around 1816 due to the construction of a saw mill for logs. John Frederick La Farge, a French immigrant who had Americanized his name from Jean Frédéric de la Farge, arrived in 1826. Already wealthy from an import business he had set up in New Orleans, he began in the 1820s to buy real estate and build houses in Jefferson County, speculation that eventually led to La Fargeville being named after him.〔 His son John La Farge became a well-known artist.
By 1850, the population was about 300.
