San Benito’s county seat and its largest city, Hollister continues to grow (an estimated population of 40,000 in 2019) but has kept historic buildings and small-town appeal. On any given weekend, the streets of “The Birthplace of the American Biker” are filled with locals and tourists enjoying classic car shows, horse shows, the Downtown Wine & Beer Stroll, and the Mexican Independence Day Parade. Another Fourth of July tradition is the Hollister Independence Rally, which has drawn thousands of motorcycle enthusiasts to the town where The Wild One was filmed. Though the event is no longer sponsored by the city, so-called rebel rallies have taken place, most recently in 2019.
The City Council’s regular meeting time is at 6:30 p.m. on the first and third Mondays of each month at the City Hall Council Chambers, 375 Fifth St. Past meetings can be found on the city’s YouTube page.
The Hollister Planning Advisory Commission is a five-member committee appointed by the City Council to review matters related to planning and development. Meetings take place on the fourth Thursday of the month and are open to the public.

San Benito County is moving forward with plans to clear homeless encampments along the San Benito River in the third week of April. The effort will involve the cities of Hollister and San Juan Bautista, following an agreement reached on April 2. The San Benito High School District will also participate in future collaborative work between the agencies.
From SanBenitocom...
San Benito County is preparing to “take a step back,” in the words of Supervisor Dom Zanger, from its longstanding partnership with the City of Hollister for fire services.
265 days. That is how long San Benito County and San Juan Bautista were given until their fire service contract with the city of Hollister ends—unless they agree on new terms. Not only are the services in San Juan Bautista and unincorporated areas in limbo, so is a feasibility study to form a county-wide fire district.
