History of Hatley
When Hatley first became a town, it was built on land owned by the Tubb family. Because of this, it was originally called "Tubb's Crossroads."
Later, a group of people called Seventh-day Adventists moved into the area. They eventually took control of the town's government. They decided to change the town's name to "Hatley." This new name honored a minister from the church they had belonged to before moving to the area.
