Holway is a town in Taylor County, Wisconsin, United States.

The surface is fairly level, not reached by the last glacier which bulldozed the Perkinstown terminal moraine to the north.

[4] The six mile (10 km) square that would become Holway was first surveyed in the summer of 1847 by a crew working for the U.S. government.

Then in 1854 another crew marked all the section corners in the township, walking through the woods and swamps, measuring with chain and compass.

The Timber is principally Hemlock & Birch with a few Scattering trees of White Pine of poor quality.

Another road, a forerunner of Apple Avenue, reached across to within a mile and a half of the west end.

Sawyer and Austin still held a chunk and the Wisconsin Central Railroad held a few parcels in the odd-numbered sections,[12][13] remnants of its payment for building the railroad line up through the wilderness and creating Medford and Stetsonville in the early 1870s.

[15] Amish families began to arrive in Holway in 1921 - initially from Kansas, but then other places.

These are Old Order Amish who refer to themselves as Curtiss Colony, which is centered in Holway.

The racial makeup of the town was 99.77% White, 0.12% Native American, and 0.12% from two or more races.

16.7% of all households were made up of individuals, and 7.2% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older.
