White Hall is a town in Lowndes County, Alabama, United States. The community was named for a plantation that was destroyed in an 1882 tornado. At the 2010 census the population was 858, down from its record high of 1,014 in 2000. It is part of the Montgomery Metropolitan Statistical Area.
It was established during the Great Depression in 1935 as a New Deal project under the Resettlement Administration, similar to the town of Skyline. Because of Southern racial segregation, White Hall was intended for the African-American majority population in the area. The town did not incorporate until 1979.[2]
