Mount Holly Area Real Estate - History
This small town got its first post office in 1883 and electricity began to filter into the area in the first decade of the 1900s due to the Catawaba dam and the readily available hydroelectric power. Up until the last decade this area has quietly grown from a tiny settlement to a small and thriving town with a shared southern history. However, when the area of Charlotte began to thrive and businesses and people moved in by the droves, Mount Holly received the boost it deserved and the recognition it has earned as a perfect location.
