Hollybush, Kentucky

Hollybush is a Knott county community about 10 miles east of Hindman along Hollybush Creek just northeast of Pippa Passes. The area was probably settled during the late nineteenth century and there was a community known as Head of Hollybush from 1881 until it was abandoned in 1960. There were stores, a mill, school, etc.
