Holliston is very Irish when it comes to ethnicity. While Boston is considered an Irish enclave, it is really the communities along the South Shore that are highly Irish populated. Places like Scituate come in at 42%. Holliston is one quarter Irish at 25.8% followed by the English 15.5% and the Italians at 15.1%. While the town’s Mudville neighborhood can claim early Irish history, that is not the case anymore. Many of the town’s population with Irish roots are scattered around town.
