Talia was revered by many in the supernatural community so that explains why SHE would be trusted to remain there and also be granted some sort of authority over the area.

As far as we know from other sources, Talia and Derek were in Wisconsin at one point. We assume that they've now lived in Beacon Hills for awhile but whether or not there has always been a Hale there is unknown.

I just don't see where there has to be a Hale Alpha in Beacon Hills at all. IMO, I don't see the Hale family as significantly important in the overall scheme of things. I don't see them as royalty. Respected and revered? Absolutely.

Have to agree with you on this...I'm not sure I believe that Beacon Hills is a long time Hale family stomping ground. Not only were Talia and Derek in Wisconsin, but after the fire Laura and Derek chose to leave and live elsewhere. Cora didn't hang around too close to BH either...I mean South America is a pretty long way away. The only one really stuck there was Peter for the obvious reasons. This is just me but I get the feeling that most werewolf families that have been werewolves for a long time move around a lot to avoid hunters...just my personal head canon.

And while I get that Talia may have been a very respected werewolf in the community and the responsibility of watching over Beacon Hills could have been entrusted to her I kind of wonder why...I mean the Nemeton was dead (powerless) when Talia was living in BH...it didn't really find any life until Paige was sacrificed there and Talia had already been there a while.

She did respond protectively by erasing the memory of the location from Derek and Peter's minds but imo that felt like something done for their personal protection because she had some idea of what the Nemeton was and how dangerous it could be. I just felt she was looking out for the welfare of her family...not that she was a watcher or protector of the area...but that's just my take on it...for today...tomorrow's another story lol ;)
