When did Holland become the Netherlands? |
Travel Info I'd also like to know what prompted the change. Thanks. Travel Tips From Wikipedia - Holland is a region in the central-western part of the Netherlands. Holland is a former county of the Holy Roman Empire, ruled by the Count of Holland, and later the leading member of the Republic of the Seven United Provinces of the Netherlands North Holland and South Holland lie along the western coast of the Netherlands.The area is today divided between two provinces of the Netherlands: North Holland (Noord-Holland) and South Holland (Zuid-Holland) that were created in 1840. Source(s): Wikipedia Other Travel Tips It was Netherlands before it came Holland. It never happened. The name of the country is The Netherlands. Holland is the name of two of the provinces: Noord-Holland and Zuid-Holland. it was always the netherlands. holland is a state within the country. Oh boy oh boy oh boy........ ...... that change never happened When did Texas become the USA? The Netherlands are devided into twelve provinces. Holland is the name of two provinces: North-Holland and South-Holland. It's the same confusion as saying England when meaning UK. Snappie? Born and raised in The Netherlands (but not in Holland) |
