Fallon History
Fallon, which was initially a 'dusty crossroad' between Stillwater and St. Clair, was referred to as 'Jim's Town' by the local natives. Mike and Eliza Fallon, who owned a ranch house, established a post office in 1896. After the Reclamation Act of 1902, the ranch house was sold to Warren W. Williams who arranged for the land to be platted and also named the central street of Fallon after Maine, his native state. Fallon became the county seat of Churchill in 1903, and the city was officially incorporated in 1908.
