Pollard is named for a family of early settlers who operated a general store that became home to the town's post office in 1876. The post office briefly moved to the nearby Tucker plantation and became known as "Advance," but was eventually restored to Pollard. A railroad line was constructed through Pollard in 1914 to serve area timber operations, and a town was platted around the newly constructed depot. Pollard incorporated in 1921.
