Holly Knoll is a small, quiet place located in New Castle County, Delaware, in the United States. It's not a city or a town with its own government. Instead, it's what we call an unincorporated community. This means it's a group of homes and businesses that are part of a larger county, not a separate town.

Holly Knoll is found in the northern part of Delaware. It is located southwest of where two roads meet: Delaware Route 41 and Valley Road. This area is close to a larger community called Hockessin.
What is an Unincorporated Community?
