Hal-Bart Addition

This subdivision is named for the developers Hal Peterson and Bart Moore.
Bart Moore first came to Kerrville on a road building contract in February, 1922. They built the highway from Ingram to Junction. When the job was finished he stayed, putting his mark on Kerrville.  He built the Arcadia Theater.

Hal Peterson was a businessman who, among other things, established the Peterson's Garage and Auto Company that in time became the Kerrville Bus Company.  He and his brother Charlie formed a  charitable foundation that established the Sid Peterson Hospital. The foundation's mission expanded later to include other charitable pursuits in the area.

This subdivision is mentioned in one newspaper story from 1947 that said streets in the addition included Circle and Stephen. These today are part of Westland Place.
