Mount Holly lies on the west bank of the Catawba River in Gaston County, across from Charlotte. The city was established in 1879 and named for the holly trees that grew on a hill above the river. Textile mills developed along the river starting in the late 19th century, with the Mount Holly Cotton Mill operating for decades before closing in the textile industry's broad decline.
The US National Whitewater Center, though located on the Charlotte side of the Catawba, sits immediately across the river from Mount Holly and has connected the two sides through boating and recreational infrastructure. The Mount Holly Riverwalk provides access along the west bank. The city has worked to redevelop its mill and industrial sites as part of planning initiatives aimed at attracting residential and mixed-use development.
Mount Holly's population has reached about 14,000, growing slowly but steadily as Charlotte metropolitan demand has pushed residential development into Gaston County. The Catawba Avenue downtown commercial strip retains buildings from the early 20th century, and several restaurants and small retail businesses have opened there over the past decade.
