The name means "Border of Holland": the village is located on the border between the provinces Utrecht and North Holland.
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]
