History


It began as a lumbering settlement and was first known as "Pinhook". A post office named Falmouth was established on December 18, 1871,[3] with Eugene W. Watson as the first postmaster. In 1873, Falmouth nearly became the county seat, losing to Reeder (now Lake City) by one vote. John Koopman built a store in 1879, and in 1881 bought the village plat, along with its saw, shingle and grist mill.[4]
