It was first mentioned in 1263 as Hall, and means "bend in highland". [3] The village is located on a sandy ridge through the moorland of the Achterhoek, [4] and was in an area suitable for agriculture in a region of swamps and heaths. In 1840, it was home to 690 people. [5] In 1848, the windmill Molen van Coops and operated until 1925 when it was converted into a motor powered mill. It was damaged in 1945, and the remainder was demolished in the 1990s. [6] In 1858, the Grote Kerk was built in the village. [4]

In March 1945, Halle became part of the German defence line. The population had fled the village, however much of the village including the church were destroyed. [7] The church was rebuilt in 1951. In 1976, a tower was added to the church. [8]
