Holly Pond, in Cullman County, was first settled in the 1840s and takes its name from two natural ponds ringed by holly trees. The community grew in the 1850s in expectation of a railroad, a post office had opened by 1888, and the town was incorporated in 1906.
A one-room schoolhouse was built in 1873, followed by a two-story frame school in 1890 and 1891 and another in 1905. Eleventh and twelfth grades were added in 1928 and 1929, and the first senior class of seven graduated in 1929. Between 1918 and 1963 the county consolidated eleven small community schools into Holly Pond School, a hard change for places where the local school was the center of life. A fire destroyed the school in 1952, and it was rebuilt the next year. Guy Hunt was born in Holly Pond on June 17, 1933, and graduated from its high school in 1950. A Primitive Baptist minister and Cullman County probate judge, he was elected in 1986 as Alabama's first Republican governor since Reconstruction. He was removed from office in 1993 after being convicted of misusing inaugural funds, and was pardoned on grounds of innocence in 1998.
