A Glimpse into Holland's History

The history of Holland is as rich as its soil. Originally known as Rocksville due to the rocky banks of Mill Creek, the town's name was changed to Holland in 1870 to honor the many Dutch settlers who made this their home in the 17th and 18th centuries. Over the years, Holland has witnessed significant transformations—like the iconic Finney family’s gristmill, now renovated into the Mill Race Inn, and their general store, converted into a charming restaurant.

Holland wasn't always the bustling community that it is today. Despite its close proximity to Philadelphia, it remained predominantly rural for the majority of its existence. The building boom of the 1970s marked a transition, with extensive housing developments like Hillcrestshire taking over farmland and setting the stage for Holland as a thriving commuter bedroom community.

Contemporary Holland

Today, Holland is a highly sought-after residential area, courtesy of its proximity to key locations like Philadelphia and the Trenton/Princeton, New Jersey area. Although public transit options are limited, the town's strategic location and growth have more than made up for it.

Education in Holland

Holland is part of the Council Rock School District, boasting several prestigious public schools like Council Rock High School South, Holland Middle School, and Holland Elementary. Private education options are also available, including Villa Joseph Marie High School, an all-girls institution, and St Katharine Drexel Regional Catholic School, affiliated with St Bede the Venerable Parish.

Notable Residents

From YouTube stars like Jenn McAllister to former U.S. Representative James C. Greenwood, Holland has been home to many individuals who have left their mark on various fields.

Public Transit: A Work in Progress

Although Holland's passenger train services were suspended in 1983, there has been ongoing interest in restoring the service. Local organizations like the Pennsylvania Transit Expansion Coalition are working diligently with county officials to bring this much-needed convenience back to the residents.
