History
The first permanent settlers of Delhi Township, John Norris and Fred Luther, initially arrived there in 1837. In 1850, 402 settlers resided in the township. By 1857, Delhi Center (now Holt) had a post office, hotel, tavern, and several other businesses. The post office at Delhi Center was renamed "Holt" in 1860 to prevent confusion with Delhi Mills in Washtenaw County. Joseph Holt was the U.S. Postmaster General during that time.
The northern part of Holt was originally not a part of the community and was a separate area known as "Five Corners" or "North Holt".
