Hale Center is a city in Hale County. It is located at the junction of I-27 and FM 1914. It was founded in 1893 by two rival communities. As the residents transferred buildings to the area, the new post office was named in reference to the community being the center of the county. In 1965, a catastrophic tornado hit the town, destroying its city hall and fire station, along with many businesses. The total property damage reached $8 million, with casualties that included five deaths and sixty injured. Hale Center is predominantly an agricultural area. One of their major events include an All-American country fiddlers’ contest, which takes part in the great celebration known as the July 4th Homecoming. As of 2010, its population was 2,252.
