 History 
On March 28, 1838, local landowner James Stewart platted a community in northwestern Harrison Township and named it "Union." When William Hollaman, another landowner, tried to buy land in the settlement, a dispute erupted between the two men. Seven months later, Hollaman tried to get revenge by planning another community only  to the northeast of Union, to which a third landowner, Valentine Harland, quickly made additions. The new community was given the name of "Hollansburg" as a portmanteau of the owners' names — Hollaman and Harland. Within a year, a countryside post office named "Republican" was moved to Hollansburg, and the village quickly began to outgrow Union. The two communities later merged. The first church in the village, a Church of Christ, was founded in 1840, while the first school building was erected in 1848.
