History
New Holland was settled in 1728 by brothers John Michael and John Phillip Ranc (Ranck). Before it became known as New Holland, it had been called “Hog Swamp”, “Earltown” and “New Design”.
The New Holland Machine Company, which later became New Holland Agriculture was founded here in 1895 by Abe Zimmerman. New Holland Agriculture is listed alongside John Casper Stoever Log House on the National Register of Historic Places.
New Holland has been the twin city of Longvic, France since 1967 because there was a Case New Holland plant in the French commune.
