What is the history of your neighborhood? Today I thought I would check out Holland, Ohio. What I already knew was that even though I live in Holland, Ohio there is this Village of Holland, Ohio. So that actually the Village of Holland Ohio is surrounded by Springfield Township and we say we live in Holland, Ohio.
That knowledge, should you not have known, might come in handy when you're searching area for real estate homes or condominiums for sale in Holland, Ohio. 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. 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 platted 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.
Well, there's a little bit about Holland, Ohio and its' history. Next time I will familiarize you with some of the neighborhoods within "Holland, Ohio."
