Hallie is a town in Chippewa County in the U.S. state of Wisconsin. As of the 2010 census its population was 161. In 2000, the town population was 4,703 according to the federal census. On February 18, 2003, however, most of the town incorporated as the village of Lake Hallie, taking with it nearly all of the town's population and reducing the town's remaining land area to 7.5 square miles (19.3 km2).
The 6-by-6-mile (10 by 10 km) squares that became the Town of Halley were first surveyed in the fall of 1848 by crews working for the U.S. government. In August and September 1849 another crew marked all the section corners, walking the woods and swamps on foot, measuring with chain and compass. When done, the deputy surveyor filed this general description of the six mile square which includes eastern Halley and the early town of Chippewa Falls:
The Surface of this Township is rolling. The Soil is uniformly Sandy, 2nd & 3rd rate.
