Holland is an unincorporated community in Lancaster County, Nebraska, United States.[1]

History

[edit]

Holland was founded in about 1886.[2] A large share of the early settlers being natives of Holland caused the name to be selected.[3]

There was an ice cream parlor operated by two unmarried sisters. Holland was busier than Panama and Pella. Holland has a street light as well. There was also a Dutch Reformed Church in Holland.
