About Fall River, Massachusetts

Fall River is a city in Bristol County, Massachusetts, United States. At the time of the establishment of the Plymouth Colony in 1620, the area that would one day become Troy City was inhabited by the Pocasset Wampanoag tribe, affiliated with the Pokanoket Confederacy headquartered at Mount Hope in what is now Bristol, Rhode Island. Fall River retains a vibrant mix of cultures that date back to its time as an immigration hub. (Wikipedia)
