Holland was on the CP Glenboro subdivision. CP abandoned the middle of that subdivision around 2015 and Holland no longer has rail service.

The town of Holland is notable for having a windmill – non-functional – and has a mural honouring Tammy Mahon, who was on Canada’s national women’s volleyball team from 2001 to 2012.
