Unattended Death and Biohazard Cleanup in Holland, OH

Holland is a village in eastern Springfield Township, Lucas County, and a suburb of Toledo in northwest Ohio.

The village's first name was Drakes, and the crossroads later called itself Hardy, probably after Samuel Hardy, one of the signers of the document that ceded Virginia's northwest territories to the United States.

The name Holland is thought to come either from the ditches dug in the 1850s to drain the swampland, which reminded people of the canals of Holland, or from "Hall Land," after early house builder Franklin Hall.

The first train between Toledo and Chicago passed through the area on May 22, 1852, and railroad records show a station at the site by 1860; by 1880 Holland had 230 residents.

In the early 1860s Robert Clark began developing land north of the railroad while Franklin Hall built houses south of it, giving the young village its first real neighborhoods.

Holland had 1,820 residents at the 2020 census, up from 1,764 in 2010 and 1,306 in 2000 as Toledo's western suburbs grew.

In the 2010 census, Holland's 1,764 residents lived in 749 households.

The whole village covers just 0.99 square miles, all of it land.

Holland is home to the J.H. Fentress Antique Popcorn Museum, a nod to the popcorn-machine heritage of the Toledo area.
