4 Interesting Facts About Holland

1. 1. Holland and the Netherlands are the same place: Some people are confused about the difference between Holland and the Netherlands. In fact, Holland (North and South) comprises the two most populous provinces in the country. The Netherlands itself has only existed since 1581, while cities like Amsterdam have been around since 1275 — and many others even well before that. Historically, there was more power given to these provinces or city states, thus the most powerful of these provinces was Holland (which contains Amsterdam, The Hague, Rotterdam). So, when traders went to far off lands, they typically said they were from Holland. The Netherlands came around a bit later and the two actually became synonymous with each other.
2. Half of the country is at one meter above sea level or lower Working together, Dutch communities have reclaimed nearly 30 percent of their land from swamps, tidal lagoons, lakes, and even the sea itself. Previously uninhabitable areas were able to be cultivated, turned into farmland, or planted with the famous Tulip. A series of dikes, polders, and sea walls have been built across the country in order to protect it from rising waters. From ocean storm surges to melting glaciers in the Alps, the Dutch have dealt with (and conquered) water in ways that most cultures have not. This knowledge is now a major export for Dutch engineering companies.
3. The world’s largest Robot is in the Netherlands Since Antoni van Leeuwenhoek invented the first microscope, the Dutch have been inventing and creating machinery to help understand the world around them. The world’s largest working robot, the Maeslant Barrier, works as a giant gate to stop flood waters from rushing into the mouth of the Rhine river just outside of Rotterdam. It is almost as long as the Eiffel Tower is tall!
4. Home of the world’s longest ice skating race Occurring once every roughly 15 years, the ‘elfstedentocht,’ or 11 Cities Ice Skating Competition, takes place once the weather is cold enough for the canals to freeze over throughout the Province of Freisland. Competitors have 24 hours to finish 120 miles (200 Kilometers) of skating between 11 scenic villages in the remote Dutch Province of Friesland.
