Holland is famous for its Tulip Time festival, held every May. The festival was named Best Small Town Festival by Reader's Digest.[6]
Holland was started in 1847 by Dutch Calvinist separatists, led by Dr. Albertus van Raalte. They had left the Netherlands because they had been persecuted (were not treated nicely) there because of their religious beliefs.[7]
