, the population was fully non-Hispanic white. Of the 97 housing units in the hamlet, 12 were vacant and the median household income was $74,861,
reflective of its relatively robust economy. None of the population was below the poverty line.
Hall and the surrounding area were settled and
cleared, mostly as farmland, around the turn of the 19th century, with a wave of migration from England. The hamlet, which was originally established as Hall's Corners,
was informally known as "the English settlement."
Starting in the mid-19th century, Hall had a station on a since removed section of line of the now defunct
Elmira Rail Road Company, a subsidiary of the
Northern Central Railroad.
Despite this, Hall has retained its status as an active agricultural center.
