Golf in Fallston

Fallston is a Beaver County community in the northern Ohio River corridor where the river bends toward the Pennsylvania-Ohio state line. Beaver County's history is inseparable from the Ohio River — the river's tributaries (the Beaver River, the Connoquenessing, the Raccoon Creek) shaped settlement and industry throughout the county, and the Ohio River itself carried the steel and materials that made western Pennsylvania's industrial economy function. Northern Beaver County's river towns developed around transportation and light industry rather than the heavy steel infrastructure of the main Mon Valley, giving communities like Fallston a somewhat different character than the valley floor communities closer to Pittsburgh. Golf in this corner of Beaver County draws from the small communities spread along the river's northern shore and the agricultural upland between the waterways.
