Falba
Falba, a mile west of the intersection of Farm roads 2989 and 247 in
extreme northwest Walker County, developed around the homestead of
Christopher Columbus Edinburgh, who arrived in 1824. Edinburgh, reputed
to be the first settler in what became Walker County, had fought in the battle of San Jacinto.
The community once supported a church and a school, and a post office
was established in 1901. In 1911 the school offered six grades. In 1914
Falba had two doctors and a community store. In 1936 the community had
scattered farm dwellings, two schools (one for White and one for Black
children), a church, and a cemetery. In 1990 all that remained was the
Falba Cemetery. TSHA
