Marble Falls was founded in 1887 by Adam Rankin Johnson, a former Confederate general, who envisioned harnessing the power of the natural granite falls on the Colorado River for industrial development. The city's name derives from the pink granite outcroppings that early settlers mistook for marble, and these same granite formations were later quarried to build the Texas State Capitol building in Austin. Today, the historic downtown district preserves much of its late 19th-century charm while the Colorado River continues to define the community's character and recreational appeal.
