With a quickly growing population that is currently estimated at about 18,000, the town of Holly Springs in Wake County has the title of “The fastest growing town in North Carolina.” The Tuscarora Indians were the first people to settle in the area, and then around 1720, Europeans began to settle in the area. The town was established and grew around fresh water springs. The springs that are believed to be the original “holly springs” are located near the intersection of what is now Avent Ferry Road and Cass Holt Road. These crossroads helped spur the growth of the town.
