The place was originally known as Twin Wells. When the postoffice was established in 1888 the postoffice department asked for a new name. The superintendent of the railroad asked the postmaster, J. D. Hackett, for a list of the patrons of the office. One of the names submitted was Sutton (father of State Senator Sutton) whereupon the railroad man took the first two letters of Hackett and the last four letters of Sutton and submitted the composite name of Hatton which was adopted.
