History.
Open Hall was settled around 1770 by Joseph Batt. Joseph Batt held a fishing room in Greenspond in 1769, however he moved from there to Open Hall in the next year. As a result, a nook in Open Hall Harbour arrived in his name, Joe Batts Cove. 
It is likely that Open Hall was settled long before this date by French fishermen. However
A non-denominational school was established in 1838 and was for many years overseen by Master Long. Even today, the reputation of both religions are still highly regarded among the senior citizens of the community. Open Hall in the year 1845 had an R.C. chapel constructed to serve the growing Catholic Population in Plate Cove, Open Hall, Red Cliffe, Tickle Cove which had reached 400 adherents.
