A BRIEF
HISTORY
In 1833, John Hallet
located on a league of land on the east bank of the
Lavaca River. Here he built a small log cabin, but made
no effort to put in a crop, and returned to his former
home in Goliad where he died in 1836. Following the
death of her husband, Margaret Hallet moved from Goliad
to the cabin on the Lavaca. She stocked it with a small
supply of merchandise and within a short time other
pioneers settled nearby on both sides of the river.
These formed the nucleus for the Hallet settlement.
In 1842, the Texas
Congress created a "Judicial" county from the fragments
of Fayette, Colorado, Jackson, Victoria and Gonzales
counties, naming it Lavaca. In 1846, Lavaca became a
regularly constituted county. Petersburg and
Hallettsville both wanted the county seat, but after
two elections and a violent contest, Hallettsville was
declared the seat of the government in 1852 and
Petersburg went into decline.
Following the Civil
War, Czechs and Germans began settling around
Hallettsville, changing it from a simple trading post to
the agricultural center of the county. While forging
ahead, the community has not forgotten its past. There
are a number of state historical markers in the town and
Hallettsville has memorialized many of its
pioneer settlers in a memorial park.

The lands in what are
now Lavaca County were in the grants of both Stephen F.
Austin and Green C. DeWitt. In 1831, DeWitt allocated
land grants to twenty-one and Austin to twelve families
who came to establish homes.
