Navarino (William G. Pomeroy Foundation). Why “Navarino”?:

While the number of Halls in the area explains the name Hall’s Corners, what of Navarino? In 2022 primary sources remain elusive, however the most plausible explanation—and the one believed by most residents and local historians—is that the hamlet acquired its name in solidarity with the Greek people during the Greek War of Independence, taking the name of the famous 1827 naval battle that helped establish eventual Greek independence. It is also believed that the existence of another Hall’s Corners in the state spurred the adoption of the name.
