Wikipedia description:
Falls County is a county in the U.S. state of Texas. As of the 2020 census, its population was 16,968. The county seat is Marlin. It is named for the original 10-foot-tall waterfall on the Brazos River, which existed until the river changed course during a storm in 1866. The present falls is two miles northeast of the original falls, at the Falls on the Brazos Park, a camping site only a few miles out of Marlin on Farm to Market Road 712. Falls County is part of the Waco, Texas, metropolitan statistical area. With a large portion of its economy based on agriculture, Falls County is sixth among 254 Texas counties in corn production.
