Founded in 1892, Fallis was once a prosperous railroad town and oil community with several hotels, general stores, saloons, lumberyards, and bank during its "hey-day". For such a small town, fallis was home to 5 nationally recognized authors and two well-known state poets. Beulah Overman, a writer of short-stories, Jenny Oliver, 1940 Poet Laureate, Vingie Roe, a novelist, Aletha Connor, a poet, Cecil Brown, poet, Delbert Davis, 1963 Poet Laureate and Blanche Seal Hunt, a writer for 'Household Magazine'. The arched entrance to her property "Koko Knoll", still stands. For the most part Fallis today is in ruins. Narrow streets, overgrown and uncared-for yards. Some old side streets are impassable.
