Holly Springs
Holly Springs is located five miles south of Canton. The town was located on the route of the L & N Railroad and developed mainly due to the surrounding agricultural region. Industry also played a large part in the town's development. One of the largest lumber companies was located in Holly Springs, producing several million feet of lumber per year. Holly Springs was almost the exact center of the gold belt of Georgia. Holly Springs was also home of one of the two United States marble quarries where green or "verdi antique" marble was procurable. Holly Springs today has over 2,000 residents. The former railroad depot is still in excellent condition and used as City Hall.
