Fall River, Massachusetts Criminal Lawyer

Fall River, Massachusetts was incorporated as a town in 1803. Interestingly, the name of the town was changed to Troy one year after its incorporation. Thirty years later, the town’s name was changed back to Fall River. During the early 1800s, Fall River began utilizing the natural flow of water that runs through the town to industrialize the area. Following industrialization, Fall River became a major center of the textile industry.
