Fallbrook, California

A little town in a big county

Fallbrook, California was first settled in 1869 by a man named Vital Reche. This General Store proprietor moved his family west from Pennsylvania. He built his home in the area now known as Live Oak Park and chose the name Fall Brook for the community because it reminded him of his home town back east.

The community of over 40,000, spread over 120 square miles, offers many amenities usually only found in larger towns, including a 50-bed medical center, four golf courses and much in the way of shopping and services. Many of the commercial buildings on Fallbrook's Old Main Street date back to the late 1800's but the city has modern conveniences too. A local movie theater and major grocery store are nearby, for instance. Agriculture is the main industry in Fallbrook, with avocado's being the top crop since they were first planted here in 1912.
