Holt – A History
Located in the Township of Delhi, Holt is one of the oldest unincorporated communities in Michigan. While Holt is technically not a village or a city, it is a zip code area with beautiful parks, excellent schools, local businesses, and close proximity to Lansing and Michigan State University. Holt is also home to the most famous esker in Michigan. An esker is a long ridge of gravel and other sediment deposited by meltwater from a retreating glacier. While Michigan is home to many eskers, the Mason Esker, which stretches for roughly twenty miles, from south of Lansing, through Holt, and into Mason, is the longest in the state.
