Fallis is a small community called a hamlet in central Alberta, Canada. It's part of Parkland County. You can find it right on Highway 16, about 49 kilometers (30 miles) west of Spruce Grove. Fallis is special because it's home to the St. Aidan and St. Hilda Anglican Church, which is a registered historic place. This means it's an important building from the past!
A Look Back in Time
The first post office in Fallis opened its doors in 1910. This was a big deal for the community, as it made sending and receiving mail much easier. The hamlet was named after Mr. W.S. Fallis. He was an important leader at the Sherwin Williams Company of Canada, a well-known paint company.
Who Lives Here?
