Holden, or Cedar Springs as it was formerly called was settled in June 15. 1855 by ten families called by the .D.S. Church leaders, these families came from Fillmore to get away from the rocky I soil of Fillmore. The first families to arrive were those of William Stevens and Johnson. They were soon followed by eight other families: Thomas Green. PhiRi-ha- Farnsworth. Charles Wil- liams. James Brooks. John Webb. Edward Holden. Joseph Call, and William Ste- vens. Jr. Mthough first living in du.gouts and wagon-boxethey immediately began to make preparations for a fort. Finding a strip of clay soil, adobe bricks were fashioned to go along with the hewn logs-fro- the nearby canyons, flic fort had window s and wooden floors and nothing but .adobe walls. The houses or noms of the fort were built in two rows 150 feet long, north and south, and "0 feet wide, east and west, with; a space of 30 feet between. Richard Johnson was the First to move into the fort in February. 1856. The First Jitorc was located inside the fort and was operated by William Stevens. Produce was exchanged for merchandise. During the first rough the few meager crops mostly destroyed by years were as Kippers.

"My father was in charge of all the entertainment and they'd come and see him to see if they could hold a dance and he would always say yes' so they would go up and ring the school house bell and that would tell everybody in town there was a dance that night...

Holden was returning home on Sept. 5. 1857 from a mission and unfortunately froze to death about ten miles north of town. When a post office was established, the people had to come up with a name. Therefore they renamed their town in memory of Edw ard Holden instead of Cedar Springs. Rose Harmon was the postmistress handling the mail while the people were living in the fort. Later the post office was operated in connection w ith Wood's Store. Flossie Stephenson (Pahvant Oral 91) tells about the Wood Store. "At first it was in that red brick house over there across the street in one, corner of it. It wasn't very big. but it had just a few things that we needed, like sugar, and flour and things like that. They had candy ior the kids, things like hard taek and taffy. "The post office was in the store too. We'd go to the mail and you'd have to ask for it. We didnt have mail boxes like we do now. We didn't get letters either. We many were lucky if we got one letter a week and the stamp didn't cost as much as they do now. I don't remember how much they did cost. I think it was about 2C. "Mr. Wood came from South Africa."
