Holland is a village in Lucas County, Ohio, United States.
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.
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 citizens of the canals of Holland.
The most likely derivation of the name comes from a story about Franklin Hall (an early home builder in the area) that states when he platted the territory for the building of his homes, he asked that it be called Hall Land.
