[edit] History
Holland College was officially formed by an act of the PEI government in 1969. "Holland" College is named after British Army engineer and surveyor Captain Samuel Holland. For more information on Samuel Holland and his connection to Holland College visit the webpage Why we are "Holland" College: http://www.hollandcollege.com/About/WhyHolland.htm
There is a rumour that the original name for Holland College was intended to be the Samuel Holland Institute of Technology. The rumour goes on that it was changed to the present name only at the last minute after it was noticed what the acronym derived from the proposed name would be. However, this simply isn't true.[citation needed]
