History

Wyoming County, in which Falls township resides, was established in 1842 and the surrounding region has long been shaped by the Susquehanna River's influence on settlement, trade, and agriculture. The northeastern Pennsylvania area, including Falls and its neighbors, developed through a legacy of small-scale farming, timber harvesting, and later natural resource industries that characterized much of rural Pennsylvania's growth in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The township's name itself reflects the area's connection to the natural landscape, a common naming tradition among Pennsylvania's early settlers.
