Holland, Cultural city in western Michigan, United States
The city of Holland stretches across Ottawa and Allegan counties in western Michigan, situated near Lake Michigan on the banks of Lake Macatawa.
Dutch Calvinist separatists established Holland in 1847 under the leadership of Dr. Albertus van Raalte, who guided the settlement's religious and civic development.
The Tulip Time Festival fills the streets of Holland each May with traditional Dutch dances, music performances, and displays of thousands of tulips.
Holland's downtown area contains numerous shops, restaurants, and cultural institutions connected by heated sidewalks that prevent snow accumulation during winter months.
The city maintains an extensive snowmelt system that uses warm water from a power plant to keep 85 miles of downtown streets and sidewalks free from ice.
