Hallittaville is a small city in the fictional region of Midvale. It serves as the county seat of Hallitt County and acts as a local center for government, education, and commerce. The population was estimated at 28,000 in 2023.

Hallittaville is named for William Hallitt, an early 19th-century landowner who established a homestead near the present river crossing. The town grew around a grist mill and a timber market, benefiting from a route that connected farm settlements to regional markets.

Geographically, Hallittaville lies in a shallow valley between rolling hills along the Hallitt River. The climate is temperate, with warm summers and cold winters; average annual precipitation is about 26 to 30 inches.

Historically oriented to agriculture, milling, and river trade, Hallittaville now has a diversified economy that includes logistics, manufacturing, retail, and public services. The city hosts a mix of blue-collar and office jobs, with a portion of residents commuting to nearby urban centers.

Public services include three elementary schools, one middle school, and Hallittaville College, a regional institution offering undergraduate programs. Local culture centers on the annual Hallittaville Days festival, featuring parades, crafts, and community gatherings.

Two state highways intersect in the downtown area, and the city operates a small regional airport serving general aviation. Notable landmarks include the Old Town Hall, Millstone Bridge, and Hallitt River Park, a riverside recreation area. Hallittaville is governed by a mayor and a city council elected to four-year terms.
