The Pickaway County portion of New Holland is part of the Columbus Metropolitan Statistical Area, while the Fayette County portion, often called West New Holland, is part of the Washington Court House Micropolitan Statistical Area.

[6] In 1818 the original settler's native of Pennsylvania Dutch, Hollanders, and Germans[4] settled on "Four Corners," a tract of land in the Virginia Military District, granted to Wilkins Ogden in 1802.

This tact was so called because it was, in a wilderness, the intersection of a stagecoach line running east and west, and an Indian foot trail going from north to south.

[5] The settlers being of Dutch descent, renamed their settlement New Holland,[6] the name it remains today.

This covered bridge, which spanned over North Fork of Paint Creek on U.S. Route 22, was built in 1840, stood until 1943.

Some have claimed that the old, covered bridge is now preserved in the Henry Ford Museum at Dearborn, Michigan.

[7] Much excitement was created on the evening of September 18, 1899, at 8 p.m., when two trains collided head on in the middle of town, at the railroad crossing located on North Main Street.

Eastbound Engine 813 had been traveling at a high rate of speed and unbeknownst to its engineer, Charles Ditto, the train's caboose and a few cars had become uncoupled at Kingsfred (located just west of Johnson's Crossing in Union Township, Fayette County).

Engine 813 meanwhile was completely destroyed, its tender being overthrown and seven of its cars were demolished, with most of them being thrown across the tracks.

Another box car was broken into pieces, with about half of it being thrown and crashing into the back of the Gooley Brother's Implement Store.

Losses from the crash were estimated at $10,000 [roughly $373,891.67 today[8]], and took workmen from about 10 p.m. that evening until the next morning to clean up the wreckage and debris.

The first completed records of city government date back to April 6, 1869, when the first council chamber was organized.

The current Village Administrator is Harold DeSanto, Utility Clerk is Diane Fisk, Fiscal Officer is Carmen White, Clerk of Courts is Michele Ervin, Chief of Police is Jason Lawless, and Village Council Members are Greg Shaw (President Pro-Tempore), Danny Kirkpatrick, Floyd Woolever, Zachary Fisk, Brittany Rodriquez, and Jimmy Thompson.

Mick charged New Holland Interim Police Chief David Conrad with forgery, Mayor Butch Betzko with complicity to forgery, and former Chief Jason Lawless with dereliction of duty and telecommunications harassment.

In a statement, the attorney representing the Village said Mick "abused his position," and was pursuing a "personal agenda with these baseless charges."

Mick released a statement saying: "My termination does not undo the criminal acts by others, and it will not erase evidence or dismiss the charges.

While it is disheartening and a violation of the law to be retaliated against and terminated for obeying the oath of office, it does not stop here."

[13] According to the United States Census Bureau, the village has a total area of 1.88 square miles (4.87 km2), all land.
