Arizona State College (ASC) built Tinsley Hall in 1964 as a male dormitory. ASC named the hall after Dr. William W. Tinsley, who came to Northern Arizona State Teachers College in 1927 and served in several capacities during his thirty-five year tenure.

A Tinsley hall traditions is the name "Tinsley Crazies," which was given to a group of hall residents who actively attend social and sporting events.
