Holley is a village in the town of Murray in Orleans County, New York, United States.

In 2002, A major chemical spill known as the Diaz pipeline incident occurred at the Diaz chemical production plant after a pipeline from a reactor vessel bursted, contaminating 31,000 tons of concrete and scrap metal as well as multiple houses, temporarily rendering Holley a ghost town.

The event went off without incident for six consecutive years until the 2013 edition drew the sudden ire of a coalition of wildlife rehabilitators, animal rights activists and gun control advocates.

Approximately 30 people stood outside of the Holley Fire Department to protest the event.

[7][8][9] According to the United States Census Bureau, the village has a total area of 1.3 square miles (3.4 km2), all land.

Holley's main economy is farming based, due to the lack of trade in the area, as well as the growing townships nearby, such as Brockport and Albion.

The town has small shops and businesses, including a dance studio, Kyokushin Karate dojo, a pizzeria, a diner and gas station.
