Hall's Store Historical Significance: While the original tract of land dates back to the colonial era, the Town of Ocean View was founded by W.S. Hall who opened a general store in 1820. Soon after, a village sprung up around the store and, thus, the area became known as Hall’s Store. The Town of Ocean View was incorporated on April 13, 1889, with the first Town Council meeting held on April 20,1889 consisting of nine elected council members. This ribbon-cutting ceremony will honor the origins of the town by officially opening Hall’s Store, a beautiful, replica general store and visitor’s center.
