Falco, Alabama

Falco, also spelled Falko, is an unincorporated community in Covington County, Alabama, United States.

The community's name is an acronym for the Florida-Alabama Land Company, which harvested timber in the area.

The community was home to a large sawmill, the Falco Bank, Falcola Bottling Company, a 40-room hotel, a grist mill and general stores.

The town began to decline after a fire destroyed the saw mill in 1925.
