Geography

According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 15.87 square miles (41.10 km2), of which 15.67 square miles (40.59 km2) is land and 0.20 square miles (0.52 km2) (1.26%) is water. [4] Holt is the second most-populated CDP (after Forest Hills) and the fifth largest by area in the state of Michigan.

The community is south of Lansing, just south of I-96 between US-127 and M-99. The city of Mason is about 6 miles (10 km) southeast, and the village of Dimondale is about 6 miles (10 km) west.

Holt is home to an ancient glacial esker. This esker, the longest in Michigan at roughly 20 miles (32 km), can be traced from south Lansing through Holt to just beyond Mason. [5]

History

The first permanent settlers of Delhi Township, John Norris and Fred Luther, arrived in 1837. In 1850, 402 settlers resided in the township. [6] By 1857, Delhi Center (now Holt) had a post office, hotel, tavern, and several other businesses. The post office at Delhi Center was renamed "Holt" in 1860 to prevent confusion with Delhi Mills in Washtenaw County. Joseph Holt was the U.S. Postmaster General during that time. [7]

The northern part of Holt was originally not part of the community and was a separate area known as "Five Corners" or "North Holt". [8]
