"The birthplace of Holly Sugar Co"
Holly, Colorado was started as a ranching community by Hiram Holly when he moved to the area and brought 1,300 cattle with him. The town was incorporated in 1903 and by 1905 the Holly Sugar Co has started production here. It grew to expand and was serving more than just the state of Colorado. The company eventually left Holly and in 1988 merged with the Imperial Sugar Co.
There are currently about 800 residents who call Holly home. The main industry in town is now agriculture, forestry, fishing & hunting. The median household income is $19,613 and over 47% of the residents are living below the poverty line. A median priced home here will cost around $51,806 although a single family detached home goes for closer to $71,000.
