'''Holland''' is a [[village (United States)#Ohio|village]] in eastern [[Springfield Township, Lucas County, Ohio|Springfield Township]], [[Lucas County, Ohio|Lucas County]], [[Ohio]], United States. Holland is a suburb of [[Toledo, Ohio|Toledo]]. The population was 1,664 at the [[2020 United States census|2020 census]].

==History==
The first name of the village was '''Drakes''', which possibly came from the name of a family or was in reference to the large number of geese that did and still fly over the area. Later the crossroads called itself '''Hardy''', which is probably taken from [[Samuel Hardy]], who was one of the signers of a document (along with [[Thomas Jefferson]], [[Arthur Lee (diplomat)|Arthur Lee]] and [[James Monroe]]) that ceded the northwest territories of [[Virginia]] to the government of the United States. He was a member of the [[Continental Congress]] in 1783-1785 and had been a lieutenant governor of Virginia.

The name of Holland has been thought to have come from the fact that ditches being dug in the 1850s to divert the [[swamp]] water reminded people of the [[canal]]s of [[Holland]]. Some{{Who|date=August 2020}} have said the name was given because of the large number of Dutch people in the area, but there were more [[New England]]ers and [[New York (state)|New York]]ers in the early settlements than there were Dutchmen. The most likely derivation of the name comes from a story about Franklin Hall (an early house builder in the area) that states when he [[plat]]ted the land for the building of his houses, he asked that it be called '''Hall Land'''. Supposedly, the clerk or other official changed the “a” to an “o” and eliminated one “l”, thus Holland.<ref>Miller, Larry L. ''Ohio Place Names'', Indiana University Press, Bloomington and Indianapolis, Indiana, 1996.{{Page needed|date=January 2016}}</ref>

On May 22, 1852, the first train ran between [[Toledo, Ohio|Toledo]] and [[Chicago]], on two roads, the Michigan Southern and the Indiana Northern. Three years later, the two railroads consolidated and the Air Line began traversing the rails from Toledo to [[Elkhart, Indiana|Elkhart]], [[Indiana]]. Records of the Erie and Kalamazoo Railroad show a station in the area in 1860 with no name, but freight and passengers from that site. In their records of 1880, it shows Holland having a population of 230 people, with the tons of freight increasing almost 20 times while the number of passengers increased by approximately 400% from 1860 to 1880.

In the early 1860s, Robert Clark began developing land north of the railroad and Franklin Hall built houses south of the railroad. Their names are still memorialized in those respective areas by Clark and Hall Streets.<ref>Waggoner, Clark. ''History of Toledo and Lucas County, Ohio'', Munsell & Co., New York, 1888.</ref>
