Why History Enthusiasts Love Holly Springs

This community has a rich history that dates all the way back to the time that the Tuscarora Indians ruled the area.

The area served as a hunting ground for the Indians prior to colonial settlement. And in fact, the tribe fled the state around 1720 in order to escape the influx of Europeans. They would eventually become the sixth nation of the Iroquois.

This community came to be known as Holly Springs in the 1800s because it was the site of fresh water springs near the intersection of what is now Avent Ferry Road and Cass Hold Road.

The community had a prominent place in the history books during the Depression, World War II and other major milestones in American history.

Today, remnants of this rich history can still be seen around town. For instance, the Harrington-Dewar House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.
