History
Holly Springs has a rich and long history, much like many small Southern towns. The Tuscarora Indians used the area around Holly Springs as a hunting ground prior to Colonial settlement, and the tribe fled North Carolina around the year 1720 to escape the influx of Europeans. The town of Holly Springs grew around fresh water springs, which are believed to be the original “holly springs”. By 1800, the crossroads evolved into a village, which included a general store, church and Masonic Lodge, and eventually a sawmill and cotton gin. The community was poised to be a bustling town, but the Civil War left it economically devastated and many families moved away. This exodus was encouraged by the introduction of the Chatham Railroad running through the nearby village of Apex, which was now more attractive, as it was more connected to the outside world.
In 1875, George Benton Alford relocated his successful mercantile business from Middle Creek Township to Holly Springs, which was instrumental in the economic revival of the community. After both World Wars, Holly Springs suffered economically once again, but the population stabilized by the early 1960s.
In 1985, Holly Springs installed streetlights and constructed a public water system. A sewer plant was completed in 1985, which attracted textile giant Warp Technologies to Holly Springs. With this addition, the town saw substantial economic growth, as the tax base doubled from $8 to $16 million. The town used this boost in revenue to expand utilities, in turn attracting further development and economic prosperity, which continues to this day.
