History

A post office called White Hall has been in operation since 1827. In 1830 a David Barrow was the first person to built and in location that would become White Hall. Two years later he bought another 80 acres of land at the price of $200 for the purpose of creating the town. Four years later, in 1836 White Hall was official established. This area was the home to a long, white tavern owned by James Allen, which was the only hotel between Carrollton, Illinois and Jacksonville, Illinois. The town got its name from the fact that when a stage was approaching the tavern, the driver would call out “Next stop, the White Hall.”

White Hall became known for pottery as ceramics was historically one of the town’s top industries. Between 1825 and 1948 White Hall had 39 commercial potteries. One of the earliest was established by John Neff Ebey. Other pottery operations included William Heath, George Ebey, David Brunk, the Davis brothers, David Culbertson, A. D. Ruckel, the Vermillion brothers, William Teter, and the White Hall Sewer Pipe & Stoneware Company. Stoneware from A. D. Ruckel’s White Hall Pottery Works and White Hall Sewer Pipe and Stoneware Company remain well known to collectors.
