MISSION STATEMENT
We pledge to provide those who live, work and visit Marble Falls with

Founded
in 1887 by General Adam R. Johnson, and incorporated on May 18, 1907, Marble Falls is located in the heart of the
Texas Hill Country on the Colorado River. It is centrally located 47 miles
northwest of Austin and 85 miles north of San Antonio, in the middle of the Highland
Lakes area, the largest chain of lakes in Texas.
Before the dam was built to form Lake Marble
Falls on the Colorado River, there were falls of marble
giving the name Marble Falls to the city. The falls
are now under water and only visible on those rare occasions
when the LCRA lowers the lake for repairs. |
