History
in a Pecan Shell
The former town dates from 1824 when it was
property belonging to Christopher Columbus Edinburgh. Edinburgh was a San
Jacinto veteran who is credited with being the first settler in (what would
later become) Walker County.
The community did have a church and school
at one time. It was granted a post office in 1901. By the 1930s, Falba was in
decline and while no population figures are available. It faded away. Today only
the cemetery is left. |
