In 1800 Larbert was a small village on the main road between Falkirk and Stirling. A railway station opened on in Larbert in 1848 by the Scottish Central Railway, which led to growth of Larbert. Although mainly residential, this included the establishment of a foundry in 1872. The arrival of the tramws in 1905 led to further development. The larger opportunities in the more industrialised Carron and Falkirk areas led to the town growing towards Stenhousemuir and today they are two co-joied villages.
