Holland is an unincorporated community in Northampton Township,〔http://www.northamptontownship.com Norhtampton Township Website〕 Bucks County, Pennsylvania, United States. It is located next to Newtown, Richboro, and Churchville. One of its communities is Village Shires, which has approximately 4,000 residents. ==History== Despite its proximity to Philadelphia, Holland was rural for much of its history. A building boom in the 1970s resulted in a significant increase in housing capacity, mainly in the form of large tract housing developments (e.g. Hillcrestshire, located off of Buck Road). Since then, the town has seen additional growth, becoming a prototypical commuter bedroom community for suburban families. The area's proximity to both Philadelphia and the Trenton/Princeton, New Jersey area make Holland a desirable location, despite its lack of public transit. Holland is located in the Council Rock School District, and is home to several of the district's schools: Council Rock High School South, Holland Middle School (formerly Holland Junior High, and prior to that Council Rock Intermediate School (CRIS)- Holland), Holland Elementary, Hillcrest Elementary, and Rolling Hills Elementary. Holland is also home to several private Catholic schools: Villa Joseph Marie High School, an all-girls school, and St Katharine Drexel Regional Catholic School, affiliated with St Bede the Venerable Parish. Notable current and former residents include the following: *James C. Greenwood, former U.S. Representative *Matt Walsh, former Florida Gators basketball star and a former player with the NBA's Miami Heat *Shannon James, ''Playboy'' Playmate of the Month (May 2007) *Anthony Green, current lead singer of the band Circa Survive *Michael Levin, Israeli national war hero. *Greg Cochrane, Left Back, Chicago Fire, MLS *Justin Pugh, offensive tackle, Syracuse University, picked in the first round of the 2013 NFL Draft by the New York Giants *Jenn McAllister, famous YouTube star *Kyle Dennis, Meteorologist at News 2 Charleston, South Carolina USA 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Holland, Pennsylvania」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
