History

Boyne Falls was first settled with the coming of the Grand Rapids and Indiana Railroad in 1874. In that year, A. D. Carpenter built the first store. A post office opened in Boyne Falls on September 5, 1874 with William Nelson serving as the first postmaster. The community was named by John Miller after the Boyne River, which has a nearby set of waterfalls. The name itself came from another river in Ireland. The community incorporated as a village in 1893.

The railway line is now operated by the Great Lakes Central Railroad, although the station in Boyne Falls has been closed since 1973.

The village is home to the Boyne Falls Polish Festival, which takes place in the first week of August. The 47th annual festival took place in 2022.
