Local History

While several land purchases were made here in 1836, the first actual settlement was made by Frederick R. Luther and John Norris in 1837.  First known as Delhi, Delhi Center or Delhi Station (it is in Delhi Township), even for a while after it was renamed by the post office after John Holt, postmaster general, on February 10, 1860.

Now the Delhis, North Holt and Five Corners are considered extinct and are all known as Holt.
