In 1837, Samuel Lewis's Topographical Dictionary of Ireland described Falls Upper like this:
FALLS UPPER, a district of the parish of BELFAST, in the barony of UPPER BELFAST, county of ANTRIM, and province of ULSTER: the population is returned with Belfast. It is a perpetual cure, or chapelry, in the diocese of Connor, endowed with the small tithes, amounting to £50, and in the gift of the vicar of Belfast: the rectorial tithes, amounting to £100, are impropriate in the Marquess of Donegal.
Falls Upper is now part of BELFAST District. Click here for graphs and data of how BELFAST has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Falls Upper itself, go to Statistics.
