Holly Springs

The 1998 comprehensive growth plan of Holly Springs, North Carolina was "To foster, maintain, and enhance a village atmosphere that evokes a sense of place." We here at Montgomery Law feel that the people of Holly Springs have done well to meet this goal as the town of has a very progressive feel that manages to keep its family-centered atmosphere.

Holly Spring is located in southern Wake County, not far from the state capital of Raleigh. Founded during colonial times, the town was nothing more than a small cluster of homes and businesses built in an area that was once a Tuscarora Indian hunting ground. The Civil War hurt the prosperity of the town as any men of fighting age found themselves on the front lines. Business declined and was in a slump until the construction of the Chatham Railroad through the neighboring town of Apex. In 1875, Colonel Alford moved his mercantile business to Holly Springs, NC. Alford, along with 20 other Holly Springs men, helped bring The Durham and Southern Railroad to the community. He also established the Holly Springs Land and Improvement Company, which encouraged economic development in town. This colonial version of the chamber of commerce turned the town of Holly Springs, North Carolina around. Despite the prosperity brought by the railroad, Holly Spring has remained small, not receiving street lights or a public water system until the 1960's and a sewer plant in 1985.

In 2006 the population was expected to reach over 17,500. This increase in population can be attributed to the continual development and growth of the town. Upon the completion of the Mims Towne Square, space will become available for several small businesses, restaurants, and offices.

Along with the increase in business and urban development, the Holly Spring’s Parks and Recreation program, established in 1996, provides recreational opportunities in the way of camping, athletics and cultural events. A master greenway plan will connect the Holly Springs park system to the new 600 acre county park at Harris Lake and other areas.
