Holley is a village in the town of Murray in Orleans County, New York, United States. The population was 1,811 at the 2010 census. It is part of the Rochester Metropolitan Statistical Area.
The village of Holley was incorporated in 1850. Originally named Saltport, the name was changed to honor Myron Holley, a commissioner of the Erie Canal.
The village of Holley has, since 2007, hosted an annual "Hazzard County Squirrel Slam," a squirrel hunt that raises funds for the village's fire department. The event went off without incident for six consecutive years until the 2013 edition drew the sudden ire of a coalition of wildlife rehabilitators, animal rights activists and gun control advocates.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the village has a total area of 1.3 square miles (3.4 km2), all land.
Holley is located on the Erie Canal.
The village is located at the junction of east-west highway New York State Route 31 (West Albion Street and State Street) and north-south highway New York State Route 237 (North and South Main Street).
Holley's main economy is farming based, due to the lack of trade in the area, as well as the growing townships nearby, such as Brockport and Albion. The town has small shops and businesses, including a bakery and a dance studio, as well as a diner and gas station.
There are two public schools in Holley: Holley Elementary School and Holley Junior/Senior High School. These two schools are located within close proximity to each other in the northeastern portion of the village.
