Holland is a region in the central-western part of the Netherlands with 6.07 million inhabitants. Holland is a former county of the Holy Roman Empire, ruled by the Count of Holland and later the dominant province of the Republic of the Seven United Provinces 1581–1795.

The name Holland is derived from holtland ("wooded land"). Popular, but incorrect, etymology holds that it is derived from hol land ("hollow land"), inspired by the low-lying geography of both the Dutch Holland and the English region (Holland, Lincolnshire). Apart from coastal dunes most of the surface consists of polder landscape, lying well below sea-level and only kept from flooding by continuous drainage, for which in earlier centuries the typical Dutch windmills were used.

When visiting do take time out for a little tourism. There are the various attractions of Amsterdam which you will all be aware of – or at least semi-aware if sampling them; the sober, serious and culturally interesting city of s’Gravenhage (The Hague) and the enormous port city of Rotterdam. The various museums are fascinating repositories of culture. Food and drink (especially beer) are excellent.

Holland and its early system of guilds laid the foundations for northern Europe’s economic order and development. This system also made it possible for the various scientists to carry out their research and produce results (the microscope was invented by a Dutchman) without undue interference from the church. Late medieval Holland was the country largely responsible for showing the way in commerce, trading and economic organisation to the rest of Europe and the world. It also managed to make the transition from a colonial power to its present state more ably than any other country in a similar situation.

Regions of Netherlands
The regions of the Netherlands are divided in the North, South, West and East Netherlands. Opposed to common practise in other countries, the Dutch regularly do not define the areas of their country according to position, but on the overall position of the Province, i.e. the most western tip of Gelderland is clearly positioned south to the centre, yet because the province is considered East this area is too.
