==History==

Hallsville was laid out in 1866. It was named for its first postmaster, Judge John W. Hall.<ref>{{cite book | url=https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_RfAuAAAAYAAJ | title=How Missouri Counties, Towns and Streams Were Named | publisher=The State Historical Society of Missouri | author=Eaton, David Wolfe | year=1916 | pages=[https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_RfAuAAAAYAAJ/page/n23 212]}}</ref> The town was not platted originally, having grown naturally at a crossroads around a store and blacksmith. The [[Columbia Terminal Railroad]] [[plat]]ted the town of Hickman and installed a depot a half mile south, but Hallsville grew and Hickman did not.<ref name="History">{{cite book |url=https://archive.org/details/historyofbooneco01stlo | title=History of Boone County, Missouri | publisher=Western Historical Company | author= Switzler, Col. William F. | year=1882 | pages=[https://archive.org/details/historyofbooneco01stlo/page/1115 1115]–1117}}</ref>

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.<ref name="History" /> During the Civil War, on 22 September 1863, the [[Mount Zion Church and Cemetery (Hallsville, Missouri)|Mount Zion Church]] east of Hallsville was burned by northern troops. According to one claim by [[William Franklin Switzler]], this was because Iowa Lieutenant Hartman found the church to be a "bushwhacker's nest." The church was rebuilt in 1867, torn down and rebuilt in 1903, and still stands.<ref name="History" /><ref>{{cite web|url=http://mtzioncemeteryboonecomo.webs.com/|title=Mt. Zion Church and Cemetery History|date=2013|access-date=2015-07-06}}</ref> Hallsville is also the hometown to the famous painter in the 20th century Charles Morgenthaler.
