The Haleburg area was first settled during the late 1810s. It was named for Jonathan Hale, an early settler, although some sources give his name as Hales.
As it grew, Haleburg attracted a number of settlers and merchants, a sawmill, a cotton gin , and a turpentine distillery. The town was incorporated in 1910 as Halesburg; it is unclear when the “s” was dropped and the town became Haleburg. It was reincorporated in 1911.
