Hollis, New Hampshire like other surrounding
towns was a part of Dunstable. In 1739 it became West Dunstable. In
1746 the town formally became known as Hollis, sometimes spelled
Holles. Today, the town's classic architecture, which lends a
charming colonial atmosphere, makes Hollis one of the most desirable
communities in which to live.
Hollis' shopping area consists of Hollis Village
Market Place, Brookdale Fruit Farm and convenience stores. There
are many specialty shops in the surrounding towns and larger
shopping malls in Nashua. The area business community has much
to offer the consumer and homeowner.
There is plenty of recreation to enjoy in Hollis
such as, public playgrounds, athletic fields, one tennis court and
swimming at Silver Lake State Park. Beaver Brook Association offers
hiking and nature programs year round and cross-country skiing.
