Rocksville was renamed to Holland in 1870 with the building of a postal office due to the many Dutch settlers in the area who settled in 17th and 18th century.

Notable current and former residents include the following: Holland's growth as a commuter haven took place in the mid-1980s, just after the town lost its passenger trains.

Regularly scheduled train service lasted until January 14, 1983[5] via SEPTA's Fox Chase Rapid Transit Line.

The station, and all of those north of Fox Chase, were closed due to failing diesel train equipment that the then-cash-strapped SEPTA could not afford to rehabilitate.

PA-TEC's efforts have received overwhelming bipartisan support by both Bucks and Montgomery County officials, as well as at the state level, despite SEPTA's overall reservations.

[7] However, SEPTA has also confirmed they are willing to reestablish regular commuter service if strong political support exists in both counties.
