The Hall community in this area was named for pioneer settlers John and Sarah Hall who moved here about 1860 from Mississippi. A rural settlement gradually built up in the area, and in 1882 landowner J. R. Bishop deeded two acres to the community for a school. Part of the land contained grave sites, so one acre was set aside for a community cemetery. The oldest documented burial is that of the unnamed infant son of W. J. and Louisa Williams, who died at birth on June 21, 1873. the cemetery also served the nearby Wattsville community.
