History & History Related Items

Our city used to be a swamp area. It was cleared out in the past and began being used for extensive farming. Our city used to have a very small jell cell, a saloon, dirt main street, old market, and other places to make Holcomb seem to appear "western." Now transforming, you may still see a preserved past with old building left behind or even still used.
