History
[edit]It was first mentioned in 1696 as Die Hollantse Radinge, but had been the border since 1352.[3] The border is nowadays just to the north of the village. Up to 1930, Hollandsche Rading mainly consisted of heath.[4] Yet, in 1885, a railway station was constructed in the hamlet.[5] The houses were built for the people returning from the Dutch East Indies. In 1938, a church was built.[4]
