Holly Hills

Located in South St. Louis, Missouri USA. The Holly Hills neighborhood is a small, residential, tightly-knit community and home to about 3,600 people.

Originally settled in 1767 by a Frenchman named Clement Delor de Treget, the area that is the currently Holly Hills neighborhood was part of the Village of Carondelet and was originally set aside for farming and grazing.

Founded in 1927, Holly Hills is one of the premier neighborhoods in St. Louis.

In the early 1920’s, developers William Federer, Gus Arendes and Don Livingston purchased a large plot of land from Missouri Pacific Railroad. They planned to develop the area north of Carondelet Park into a residential area with the elegance of Hollywood; thus the name Holly Hills.
