Relating to the Netherlands

• In English (but also in Dutch), "Holland" is incorrectly used as a name for the whole of The Netherlands. Holland refers to a former province of the Netherlands, now split into Noord-Holland and Zuid-Holland. The incorrect use of Holland is reinforced by the Dutch Tourist Board (VVV) who refer to The Netherlands as Holland in its English Language Literature and on their main website, Holland.com.

Historically it can refer to:

• The County of Holland, a county in the Holy Roman Empire factually until 1581, formally until 1795
• The Dutch Republic or Republic of the Seven United Provinces, an independent aristocratic Republic from 1579/1581 until 1795, frequently called simply "Holland" in literature
• The Kingdom of Holland, a French vassal state covering roughly the area of the Netherlands during the Napoleonic era (1806-1810)

It may also refer to:

• Holland (subnational area), a region within the Netherlands, now divided into two provinces:
  • North Holland
  • South Holland
