Holly Background:
Holly is a village in north Oakland County in Michigan. The population was 6,086 at the 2010 census. The village is located almost entirely within Holly Township with a very small portion extending into Rose Township. It is about 15 miles south of Flint and 55 miles northwest of Detroit.
Holly History:
In the 1836 after the community became part of the United States and settled by more English speakers, it was named Grand Port, but remained unincorporated within Holly Township. The settlement was incorporated as the village of Holly in 1902. Holly became a significant economic force in the region when its first steel mill, Michigan Steel Mill, began operation in 1923. The village incorporated as a city in 1941. Since the later 20th century, the city, like most other industrial inner-ring suburbs, has fallen into economic decline. In December 1986, the Wayne County Circuit Court issued a court order appointing a receiver for the bankrupt city. The receivership would last until August 1990, but the city’s finances were monitored by the state for another ten years.
Holly Geography:
According to the United States Census Bureau, the village has a total area of 3.04 square miles. Out of that 2.76 square miles is land and 0.28 square miles is water.
Holly Trivia:
Mount Holly, the largest ski/snowboard resort in southeastern Michigan, is located 3 miles (5 km) northeast of the village in Groveland Township. The ski area has 19 trails with a range of difficulty, and a high-speed quad chairlift. Also nearby is the state owned Holly Recreation Area.
