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. |

Subject: Whitehall
(sometimes White Hall)
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,
