Fall River, Industrial port city in Bristol County, Massachusetts, United States.
Fall River extends along the eastern shore of Mount Hope Bay at the mouth of the Taunton River, with elevations reaching above 200 feet.
The settlement, established in 1670, developed into a major textile manufacturing center during the 19th century due to the Quequechan River's water power.
Portuguese heritage shapes the local community through traditional festivals, religious celebrations, and regional cuisine found throughout the neighborhoods.
The city provides municipal services through an online portal system for permits, licenses, and payments, making administrative tasks efficient for residents.
Battleship Cove houses the largest collection of preserved World War II naval vessels in the world, including the battleship USS Massachusetts.
