About Holland, Michigan
Holland is a city in Ottawa and Allegan counties in the U.S. state of Michigan. Ottawa County was originally populated by Ottawa Indians. In 1846, Reverend George Smith established the Old Wing Mission as an outreach to the native population. The Ottawa living here were primarily practicing Catholics, but Smith tried converting them to Protestantism. Over 28% of the population identified as being of Dutch descent. (Wikipedia)
