History

The town was not established until 1882, when the Newport News & Mississippi Valley Railroad line (later the Illinois Central Railroad) set up a railroad stop here. The village was originally named Hall’s Station in honor of Hansford R. Hall, one of the founders. Other founders were J. S. Stephens and S. A. Jordan, early businessmen of Lauderdale County.

E. Stanfield, general merchant, was first to set up a business at Hall’s Station in 1882. Other early businesses included Young & Sawyer, a steam-powered cotton gin; D. P. Shoffner, steam sawmill and wagon material; J. H. Farmer, saw-, grist- and planing-mill and cotton gin. As of 1887 there were about 400 people in the community.

On January 17, 1999 a tornado struck Halls damaging a restaurant and The Halls First United Methodist Church. The church has since been rebuilt in another location.
