History
It was first mentioned in 1696 as Die Hollantse Radinge, but had been the border since 1352.{{cite web|url=https://etymologiebank.nl/trefwoord/hollandscherading |title=Hollandsche Rading - (geografische naam) |website=Etymologiebank |access-date=28 March 2022 |language=nl}} The border is nowadays just to the north of the village. Up to 1930, Hollandsche Rading mainly consisted of heath. Yet, in 1885, a railway station was constructed in the hamlet.{{cite web|url=http://stationsweb.nl/station.asp?station=hollandscherading&vraag=hollandsche%20rading |title=Station Hollandsche Rading |website=Stationsweb |access-date=28 March 2022 |language=nl}} The houses were built for the people returning from the Dutch East Indies. In 1938, a church was built.{{cite web|url=https://www.plaatsengids.nl/hollandsche-rading |title=Hollandsche Rading |website=Plaatsengids |access-date=28 March 2022 |language=nl}}
