Fall River MA Real Estate is affordably priced and the city is rich with history. Known as the Spindle City dates back to the 1600s. There was a time when Fall River's residents traded goods with the Wampanoag Indians, who called the area Quequechan, which means, "falling water."
Back in 1675 the tribe was driven from the area as result of the King Phillip's War. Shipbuilders along with farmers that settled the area followed this period. By around 1830 the Textile industry caused Fall River's population to increase and with seven mills in operation the city was famous throughout the world.
The city of Fall River was incorporated in 1854 and is located along the eastern shore of Mount Hope Bay at the mouth of the Taunton River. This river location made Fall River a transportation hub. These waters were used to power the factories and today offer the most scenic views with numerous area attractions.
