Everything about Hall Australian Capital Territory totally explained
Hall, is a small town in the north of the
Australian Capital Territory (ACT),
Australia. It was founded in 1882, named after the first landholder in the area,
Henry Hall. In 1911 Hall was included within the boundary of the land allocated for the Australian Capital Territory, close to the north western corner, near the
New South Wales border. Although considered a village, similar to
Tharwa, in practical terms Hall might now be considered an outer suburb of Australia's capital
Canberra.
In 1954 the main street of Hall (which had been part of the state highway system since 1935) was named the Barton Highway. In 1980 the alignment of the highway was shifted to the south as part of a dual carriage upgrade, bypassing Hall completely.
Some features of note within Hall village are the equestrian park, playing fields, showground, and former
Hall Primary School, along with a small shopping centre and 3 historic churches. The showground area plays host to the "Hall Markets", a popular monthly charity market showcasing hand-produced goods.

tuff is found over the other side of the New South Wales border, and also within the Australian Capital Territory near Gooromon Ponds Creek.
