Hollyrode has been interpreted by historians as an old English name for "Holy Cross" from the ancient Anglo Saxon word "rode" meaning staff or cross. Like many other names in Newfoundland, Holyrood breathes a high sense of religious fervor and faith.
The earliest settlement is believed to be in 1689, the Martin O'Neil property, which was located at the center of the main beach, in the vicinity of the location of Beach Cottage
Holyrood is a very progressive town of 2100 residents. The sights and sounds of growth are all around Holyrood with the town continuously receiving applications for residential and commercial development and two new subdivisions are planned, one for 60 homes and one for 40 homes. Development is expected to increase when the extension to the Conception Bay Bypass road is completed in 2012. This road will be 2.8 km from Holyrood, making access to the capital region easier than ever.
The proposed new 10 year town plan will balance the town’s rural nature with progress. In addition, the town will benefit from growth of the Marine Institute base in Holyrood Harbour as well as the Vale nickel plant at Long Harbour and the work on the Hebron project at Bull Arm.
The Holyrood Marina and the Terra Nova Yacht Club located within the marina (www.holyroodmarina.ca)
will continue to draw people to the town from the Capital region. In addition golfers continue to be attracted to golfing at the willows, located in Holyrood (www.thewillows.ca)
