History

When Hatley became a town it was on land owned by the Tubb family and named "Tubb's Crossroads". Several years later a group of Seventh-day Adventists migrated into the area, took control of town government in subsequent elections and renamed it "Hatley" in honor of a minister in the church they left when they moved to the Hatley area.
