History
Hollis, New Hampshire, was first settled in 1730 and officially incorporated in 1746. Originally an agricultural town, it became known for its fertile land, apple orchards, and thriving farming community. Over the centuries, Hollis has remained deeply connected to its rural roots, preserving its open spaces and historic charm even as it has grown. Many of the town’s original Colonial and Federal-style homes still line its quiet streets, and the iconic white-steepled church in Monument Square stands as a reminder of the town’s enduring New England character. Today, Hollis balances its agricultural heritage with a commitment to conservation and thoughtful development, making it a sought-after destination for those looking to enjoy the peacefulness of the countryside while staying connected to nearby urban centers. The town's dedication to community, education, and preserving its history continues to define Hollis as a truly special place to call home.
