In 1882-4, Frances Groome's Ordnance Gazetteer of Scotland described Chapelhall like this:

Chiefly dependent on the iron-works and collieries of the Monkland Company, it is of recent origin, and consists of well-built houses, nearly one-half of them the property of operatives; at it are a Free church, St Aloysins Roman Catholic church (1859), and a public and a Roman Catholic school, which, with respective accommodation for 250 and 249 children, had (1880) an average attendance of 229 and 192, and grants of £199,5s. ...
and £135,8s. Pop. (1841) 1431, (1861) 1990, (1871) 1707, (1881) 1675.
