Located in the Finger Lakes region, Hall has a fire department[2] and a post office with a downtown zip code of 14463, though the urbanized area extends beyond this.[3] Hall also has various agricultural enterprises, including a tractor retailer, a seed production company (Seedway), and a fertilizer company (Hall Fertilizer Corp.).[4] Seedway, a subsidiary of Growmark, serves the entire Northeast and is headquartered in Hall.[5]
As of the 2010 census, Hall has a population of 216.[6] With the exception of one Korean, 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,[7] reflective of its relatively robust economy. None of the population was below the poverty line.[6]
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,[8] was informally known as "the English settlement."[9] 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.[10] Despite this, Hall has retained its status as an active agricultural center.[4][5][11]
