Hollandsburg is a small, quiet community in Indiana, United States. It is not a city or a town with its own government. Instead, it is an "unincorporated community." This means it is part of a larger area called Union Township in Parke County.
A Look Back in Time
Hollandsburg has a history stretching back to the 1800s. A post office opened here in 1853. This was an important place for people to send and receive mail. The post office served the community for many years. It finally closed its doors in 1902. The community got its name from a minister named Holland. He was a friend of John Collings, who built the very first home in Hollandsburg.
