Fall River Courts

Fall River is in Bristol County.  Formally a mill town, Fall River is the 10th largest city in Massachusetts and retains some notoriety for being the only city in the United States that has its city hall directly over a highway!  Fall River has two lakes on the eastern part of the city which feed a river that flows through the city.   The river “falls” in elevation throughout the city, which is how the city got its name.  Those falls were covered by industrial buildings throughout the 19th century, however, throughout the 20th century many of the mills burned and the falls became exposed again.  Unfortunately, in building interstate highway 195, the falls were buried underneath once again.
