Rural Hall Real Estate

History: The community's history actually can be traced to a trapper's cabin built in the 1740s. Today, that small cabin structure stands as part of a stately 18th century home in southern Rural Hall.
The earliest settler apparently was Ludwig Bitting, former Hessian soldier in General Nathanael Greene's army who liked the area when passing through and returned after the American Revolution to settle. His descendants still live in the county. Another early settler was Johann Adam Geiger (Kiger) who donated 102 acres to the Nazareth Evangelical Lutheran Church which still serves the community today. The town developed after the Cape Fear & Yadkin Valley Railroad erected a train station here in 1887.
Rural Hall now is the operational center of the Yadkin Valley Railroad and many of the Yadkin Valley locomotives can be found idling there when not working.
