White Hall, Texas, Coryell County ghost town. (original) (raw)

History in a Pecan Shell

The White and Hall families founded the community by combining their names. A school was founded in 1890 and in the 1920s, this academy was consolidated with two other local schools until 1948 when the White Hall District was merged with Gatesville.

From a population of 40 residents, White Hall shrank to a mere 30 residents in the 1950s. No figures have been kept since and White Hall has disappeared by most maps.

On FM 215 just before CR 248 enters on the right. Use to be a school, large church and my grandmother, Bertha Hardie, owned the store as well as her land and the house across from the store.

Further down FM 215 take a right on to CR247. This community had a store, gin and Cave Creek school. My uncles burned the school house down by stuffing broom weed up the flue before lighting the fire. It was roughly where James Crow's place is now (look for solos on left side of road.)- Jim Compton, June 25, 2018
