The District Council of Hall was a local government area in South Australia from 1878 to 1935.

History[]

The District Council of Hall was officially proclaimed on 14 November 1878 as constituting the entire Hundred of Hall.^[1] It was divided into five wards:^[1]

Hoyleton, centred on the township of Hoyleton in the north east of the hundred
Halbury, centred on the township of Halbury in the centre of the hundred
Wakefield, in the south of the hundred beside the Wakefield River
Woodlands, centred on the locality of Woodlands in the north west of the hundred
Watchman's Plains, centred on the locality of at Watchman's Plain in the west of the hundred

In 1911 a part of the western ward of Watchman's Plains was severed from the Hall council and annexed by the District Council of Balaklava.^[2]

From 1930 to 1934, the local government commission appointed under the Local Government Areas Re-arrangement Act, 1929, had proposed several recommendations on amalgamating the district of Hall. Despite being consistently opposed by residents of Hall, the commission declared in 1934 that the Hall district would be amalgamated with the councils of Blyth and Balaklava. On 21 March 1935 it was promulgated that, effective 1 May 1935, the Hoyleton and Woodlands wards in the north would go to Blyth and be known there as the new ward of Hoyleton, and that the remainder would go to Balaklava and constitute the new wards of Halbury and Wakefield.^[2]^[3]
