== Fun facts ==
* Part of why Holly Springs is so heavily black is because its home to Rust College, a historically black college that was founded in 1866. Another part is because it's near the Mississippi Delta, the area was developed by European Americans for cotton plantations and was dependent on enslaved Africans. Because of this, Marshall has historically been a black county and Holly Springs has historically been heavily black. After the American Civil War, many freedmen continued to work in agriculture but as sharecroppers and tenant farmers.
* Holly Springs is the birthplace of E. H. "Boss" Crump, the former head of the dominant Democratic political machine in Memphis during the first half of the 20th century. He also dominated Tennessee state politics for most of the time from the 1920s to the 1940s, and was the mayor of Memphis from 1910 to 1915.
* Holly Springs also has a few amenities, due to proximity to Memphis. The city has a Walmart, a Nintendo World, a few hotels, some fast food places, dollar stores, local restaurants, a small shopping center, the county fairgrounds, and a few other things.
* In 1878, the city suffered a yellow fever epidemic, part of a regional epidemic that spread through the river towns. Some 1,400 residents became ill and 300 died. The existing Marshall County Courthouse, at the center of Holly Springs' square, was used as a hospital during the epidemic.
