Unincorporated community in South Carolina, US
Mount Holly is an unincorporated community in Berkeley County, South Carolina,[1] just north of Goose Creek, South Carolina.
A post office called Mount Holly was established in 1853, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1990.[2] Mount Holly was originally the name of a nearby plantation.[3]
The historic Medway Plantation (c. 1694) is located within the village and is possibly the oldest house in South Carolina.[4] In the 19th century, the Mount Holly Mining and Manufacturing Company was active in the village.
