Falmouth is a home rule-class city and the county seat of Pendleton County, in northern Kentucky about 39 miles south of Cincinnati.

Falmouth sits at the confluence of the South Fork and the Main Fork of the Licking River.

Possibly settled as early as 1780, Falmouth was laid out by John Waller and formally established by the state assembly in 1793; Waller named the settlement after his native Falmouth, Virginia.

Falmouth was incorporated as a city in 1856 and became the seat of Pendleton County, which had been formed in 1798 and named for Virginia statesman Edmund Pendleton.

Falmouth is remembered for a series of natural disasters: in 1964 the Licking River reached 47 feet, 19 feet above flood stage, and left much of the town under water.

On April 23, 1968, a tornado struck Falmouth, leveling many homes and causing an estimated $7 million in damage in the hardest-hit part of Pendleton County.

On March 2, 1997, the Licking River crested at 52 feet, 24 feet above flood stage, leaving about 80 percent of Falmouth under several feet of water; five residents were killed in the worst flooding in the county's history.

As of the 2020 census, Falmouth had a population of 2,216; the 2000 census counted 2,058 people in 849 households.

Falmouth covers about 1.3 square miles, all land.
