History
Holabird was the maiden name of a railroad official's wife, the daughter of Connecticut lieutenant governor William S. Holabird.[3] The community got its start when the railroad was extended to that point.[4] A post office was established in Holabird in 1884 but is no longer in operation: Holabird mail services are provided by the post office in Highmore.[5]
