Farleton is a hamlet in the civil parish of Hornby-with-Farleton, in the Lancaster district, in the county of Lancashire, England. Farleton lies in the north of the county just to the south of the main A683 road, some 8ý miles northeast of Lancaster. The Toll House, a Grade II listed building was, in the 1920s, a garage.
The name "Farleton" may mean "the tà «n of Faraldr or Farle". Farleton was recorded in the Domesday Book as Fareltun. Farleton was formerly a township in the parish of Melling, in 1866 Farleton became a separate civil parish, on 24 March 1887 the parish was abolished and merged with Hornby to form "Hornby with Farleton". In 1881 the parish had a population of 120.
In about 1922, John Willacy who then owned the garage on the main road at Farleton painted a white line to alert drivers to the bend after several accidents. This may be the earliest recorded road surface marking, although there is reportedly a Canadian claim contesting this.
