Holmesville was the site of Mississippi's First Territorial General Assembly on Dec. 9, 1815. Holmesville was the county seat of Pike County from the county's formation in December 1816 until June 1873 when Magnolia became the county seat. During its heyday in the 19th century, Holmesville boasted a large business district with a number of hotels, stores and saloons. After the railroad bypassed the town to the west, the town quickly faded.
