Halls Crossroads, Tennessee : ウィキペディア英語版 | Halls Crossroads, Tennessee
Halls Crossroads (known locally as Halls) is an unincorporated community in northern Knox County, Tennessee. As a northern suburb of nearby Knoxville, Halls is included in the Knoxville, Tennessee Metropolitan Statistical Area. The town takes its name from the Thomas Hall family that settled in the area in the late 18th century. ==History== In 1785 the North Carolina General Assembly passed a bill instructing militiamen to cut and clear a road by the most eligible route to Nashville at least ten feet wide and fit for passage of wagons and carts. This road is now known as Emory Road, which runs along a stretch of Tennessee State Route 131 in the Halls Crossroads area. One of the earliest settlers was Thomas Hall who arrived in the valley around 1796 from Orange County, North Carolina. Hall married Nancy Hais on September 25, 1783, two years after his release from a British prisoner of war camp in Charleston, South Carolina. He fought for freedom and was captured by the British in the Siege of Charleston. For this service the U.S. government presented Hall a parcel of land. It is to this northern side of Black Oak Ridge that Hall settled.〔About Thomas Hall, The Preservation of the Thomas Hall Cemetery, (About Thomas Hall ), May 9, 2009.〕〔Emory Road Marker, (Emory Road ), 2006.〕 Two generations later Thomas Hall’s grandson Pulaski went west during the California Gold Rush and settled on a ranch in Oregon. He returned to Halls and married Joyce Hall, September 8, 1859. Pulaski and his family owned and operated one of the first businesses in the Halls area as early as 1860, which included a general store and inn as well as a blacksmith shop. The store was known as Halls Crossroads. Halls High School was one of the first schools in the area. Founded in 1916, the school was named for Pulaski Hall.〔Information obtained from Tennessee Historical Commission marker 1E 112 at the Fountain City United Methodist Church, 26 December 2008.〕
