History

The village of Holley was incorporated in 1850. Originally named Saltport, the name was changed to honor Myron Holley, a commissioner of the Erie Canal.

The village of Holley hosted an annual “Hazzard County Squirrel Slam,” from 2006 until the last event in 2016, a squirrel hunt that raises funds for the village’s fire department. The event went off without incident for six consecutive years until the 2013 edition drew the sudden ire of a coalition of wildlife rehabilitators, animal rights activists and gun control advocates. Approximately 30 people stood outside of the Holley Fire Department to protest the event. Protests also occurred in 2014, 2015, and 2016. Several lawsuits to stop the event took place, none of which were successful. Due to controversy the “Squirrel Slam” hasn’t taken place since 2016.
