history

Allewilare was first mentioned in a document in 1167. The place name comes from the Old High German Hallinwilari and means "Hofsiedlung des Hallo". In the Middle Ages the village was under the rule of the Counts of Lenzburg , from 1173 on that of the Counts of Kyburg . After these were extinct, the Habsburgs took over sovereignty and blood jurisdiction in 1273 . The lower jurisdiction was in the possession of the Lords of Reinach .

In 1415 the confederates conquered Aargau. Hallwil now belonged to the subject area of ​​the city of Bern , the so-called Berner Aargau . The village was part of the Trostburg judicial district in the Lenzburg district . This district was owned by the Hallwyler from 1486 to 1616 and then also came to Bern. The Bernese introduced the Reformation in 1528, and the village has belonged to the Seengen parish ever since . In March 1798 the French took Switzerland, ousted the «Gracious Lords» of Bern and proclaimed the Helvetic Republic . Hallwil has been part of the canton of Aargau since then.

In the 18th and 19th centuries, apart from agriculture, home work for silk ribbon and linen weaving was widespread. The first cigar factory was founded in 1864 . On October 15, 1883, the community was connected to the railway network when the Lenzburg– Beinwil am See section of the Seetalbahn was opened. The last representative of the tobacco industry closed its doors in 1971.

coat of arms

The blazon of the municipal coat of arms reads: "In red on a green three-mountain, green palm with yellow fruits." Even the municipal seals of the 19th century clearly show a palm tree. It is not known whether and why there is a connection between the former farming village and this exotic plant. In 1963 the color of the escutcheon was changed from yellow to red.
