About Fallon

Neighborhoods

Many of Fallon’s modern-day neighborhoods are located on what once were family-owned ranches. The original communities typically were named after their property owners.

Today, because of Fallon’s size, most residents indicate where they live by giving their street name and maybe its cross-street.
