Historically part of Lancashire, Hollinwood in pre-industrial times was a moor or common on the borders of Chadderton and Oldham. The rights to the land were disputed by the townships but a 1713 court settlement stipulated it should be within Oldham. The mid to late 18th century saw the area develop into a village. From late 19th century, the area was largely occupied by workers in Oldham’s cotton mills and miners at the large collieries at Oak and Bower.
