The area that would become Holly Pond was settled in the early 1840s and the budding community was named after its two ponds and countless holly trees. Formal land claims in the area did not occur until the mid-1850s. These official claims were spurred by the arrival of the railroad which began claiming sections of land. In 1888, the growing town established a post office to serve its residents and by 1896 the community had a school, a variety of stores and two doctors. The community was incorporated in 1906. Holly Pond was the childhood home of famous instrument maker Arlin Moore and former governor Guy Hunt.
