Holland is an unincorporated community in Pennsylvania. In the 1970s, large tract housing developments replaced farmland, turning the area into a commuter bedroom community for suburban families who work in Philadelphia or the Trenton/Princeton. It has no downtown district, main street, or public transit.
Holland has easy access by car to many fabulous destinations. Holland's growth as a commuter city took place in the mid-1980s, just after the town lost its passenger trains.
