Discover the fascinating story of Fall River, from its founding as a farming community to today's thriving residential area
Fall River was founded in the late 18th century as a farming community. Early settlers were drawn to the area's fertile land and abundant natural resources, establishing the foundation for what would become a thriving community.
The historic Fall River Schoolhouse was built, serving as the educational center for the growing community. This beautiful heritage building now operates as a museum, preserving the area's educational history for future generations.
The Lake Thomas Ice Company began operations in 1921, operated by the Wilson family. This important local industry harvested ice from Lake Thomas and supplied the region until 1948, representing an era when the lake was central to the local economy.
In 1954, local resident Graeme Stuart, whose family had immigrated from Scotland in the mid-19th century, founded Stuart Industries. This metal fabricating business employed approximately 100 people at its peak and operated until 1982, bringing significant employment to the area.
Fall River has evolved into a vibrant residential community, perfectly positioned just 30 minutes from Halifax.
