History
Hallsville was laid out in 1866. It was named for its first postmaster, Judge John W. Hall. The town was not platted originally, having grown naturally at a crossroads around a store and blacksmith. The Columbia Terminal Railroad platted the town of Hickman and installed a depot a half mile south, but Hallsville grew and Hickman did not. Colonel William F. Switzler reported that in 1882, Hallsville contained five stores, one harness shop and one blacksmith shop, but no church or school house yet. The population was 65. Hallsville is also the hometown to the famous painter in the 20th century Charles Morgenthaler. Charles Morgenthaler received his art education at the University of Missouri and the Art Institute of Chicago. He later moved to St. Louis, where he became a successful illustrator and mural painter.
