White Hall is an unincorporated farming community in northern Frederick County, Virginia, established in the late 1810s and located near the crossroads of Apple Pie Ridge Road (VA 739) with Green Spring and White Hall (VA 671) Roads, astride Apple Pie Ridge (922 feet/281 meters).
The road passes the Upper Ridge Quaker Cemetery, then continues past Hiatt's Hill and Hiatt Road, where Edward Braddock led a march of British forces past this area on the way to capture Fort Duquesne near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
The road supposedly became known as Apple Pie Ridge Road when Hessian soldiers, captured during the American Revolutionary War, were quartered on the Glaize farm west of Winchester, Virginia, and would walk north to the ridge to eat apple pies cooked by Quakers.
Union forces were completely routed twice in two major defeats which sent disintegrated Union units fleeing to the north and west of Winchester through this area, particularly after the Second Battle of Winchester, when roads to Martinsburg, West Virginia were cut off by advancing Confederate troops on their way to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania in June 1863.
Throughout the war, the White Hall community helped the Confederate States Army through provision of fodder, wheat, and cattle.
