Ross Point sits on the bank of the Halifax River. This historic two-acre park offers a 30-foot fishing pier, roofed shelters and covered picnic tables.
The park is named after William Wallace Ross. Before the City of Holly Hill was created it was named Palmetto Point and a post office was located on the point. William Wallace Ross came to Palmetto Point (later, Holly Hill), joining his sister’s husband on their joint venture of 200 acres of orange trees. Visit our HISTORY section to learn more about Palmetto Point.
When the Halifax River channel was being deepened by dredging, the “spoil” sand was added to the point, and on February 26, 1958, the Holly Hill City Council officially named this historic landing site Ross Point and further memorialized Ross, one of Holly Hill’s earliest settlers, with an historical marker that remains there today.
