About Holly Springs
Holly Springs is a town in Wake County, about 18-miles to the southeast of Raleigh. It has gained the title of “The Fastest growing Town in North Carolina”, understandable considering that the population was about 900 in 1980 and had grown to 24,661 by 2010, an amazing 2,640% increase!
Similar to many Southern small towns, Holly Springs has a very long history. The Tuscarora Indians used the area around the town as a hunting ground prior to colonial settlement. It grew around fresh water springs, believed to be the original “springs,” near the intersection of what is now Avent Ferry Road and Cass Holt Road. These roads linked Raleigh to the Cape Fear River and ultimately to Fayetteville as well as linking Hillsborough to Smithfield.
