The Falls

Anyone got any photos of the falls? Put em on here I want to see em! AndrewEnns (talk) 05:30, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

It is unfortunate, in my opinion, that two of the primary geographic features for which Marble Falls is famous are no longer available to be enjoyed by visitors (I’m in Marble Falls right now). The falls, for which the town is named, is submerged beneath a man-made lake, and Granite Mountain is a heap of disfigured stone (I’m an Austinite so yes Im aware of its contribution to the capitol building and Austin Bergstrom Int’l Airport). I am thankful that Enchanted Rock escaped the same fate as Granite Mountain.Rdenney (talk) 20:55, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Marble Falls, TX Micropolitan Statistical Area

This is a newly formed (Dec. 2009) micropolitan statistical area, that is now part of the also newly formed Austin-Round Rock-Marble Falls, TX Combined Statistical Area.[1] Would someone include this in the article, please? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.177.102.147 (talk) 23:07, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

Notable persons (need to fix)

Remove from article because too long. You need to trim down to short description for Notable Persons section, also you need to add citation references.

The population of Marble Falls, Texas (need to fix)

As of the 2010 census, the city population was 6,077 (not 6,047)! Anyone know from which website the Wikipedia article for Marble Falls, Texas has the population of 6,047? I think that 6,047 is incorrect. The correct is 6,077:

• American FactFinder
• Population of Cities in Texas - Census 2010 and 2000 Interactive Maps, Statistics, Demographics - CensusViewer
• Population of the City of Marble Falls, Texas - Census 2010 and 2000 Map, Demographics, Statistics, Quick Facts - CensusViewer — Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|SncT-27 (talk) 02:48, 9 June 2012 (UTC)]] comment added by SncT-27 (talk • contribs) 17:21, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
