The Boys Club of Fall River was founded on February 1, 1890, with its first meeting place and clubhouse in a storefront on Third Street, and it was incorporated in 1892. In 1895, Camp Welch in Assonet opened, and in 1897 a new clubhouse was opened on Anawan Street, which was the first building built specifically for a Boys Club in the nation and was funded by Matthew C.D. Borden. In 1906, the Club became a National Movement of Federation of Boys' Clubs charter member. In 1967, a new and expanded facility was opened at 803 Bedford Street, the present location, and in 1982 the Boys' Club of Fall River changed its name to the Boys & Girls Club of Fall River. In 2005, the facilities were expanded with an 18,000-square-foot, three-level addition, and in 2024 the expansion of the Teen Center is underway and is set to gain 1,680 square feet of multipurpose program space.
