Hollonville is so named for Randolph Hollon, a North Carolina planter who moved to Georgia and started a farm here. Hollon's farm grew into a commercial community, and he would be worth a "hundred thousand dollars" before the outbreak of the Civil War. Five of his sons would join the Confederacy. He was described as belonging "to no church or society, and his life seems to have been absorbed in the pleasure of money-making." [4] Randolph Hollon died in 1863, and his children would later move to Texas. [4]
According to a 1922 History of Pike County, at the time, unincorporated Hollonville was served by two stores, a cannery, and a school with eight grades. The Hollonville Baptist Church was organized in 1874 [5] but is no longer existing today.
