History

The name Fallon honors Luke and James Fallon, early local settlers. Starting in the 1870s, Fallon was a stop on the North Pacific Coast Railroad connecting Cazadero to the Sausalito ferry to San Francisco. The Fallon family operated a dairy and creamery in the area, and shipped dairy products to San Francisco and beyond by rail.[2] Following soon after, in 1898, the first post office in Fallon opened.[3] The town survived the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake with little damage,[4] but in 1912, the creamery, train station, and other businesses burned to the ground, and Fallon began to decline as the creamery relocated to the Tomales area.[2]

Rail service to Fallon ended in 1930.[4]
