History of the Fallbrook Village Association
The Fallbrook Village Association was formed in 1993 by San Diego County at the request of the Fallbrook Revitalization Council to develop and implement Revitalization Programs. Our original mission statement was; Develop a vital business and residential downtown to enhance the historic small town atmosphere, halt deterioration, increase cultural involvement, and promote the Friendly Village Identity. Our first project was the development of the Village Square.
