Population over time
2 figuresNew Holland grew from 801 to 804 between 2010 and 2020. These are the recorded population figures Wikidata holds for this place, reached through the Geographic Names Information System number this page is keyed on rather than by name, so they belong to this place and not to another of the same name. Most are census counts, but not all are: an early figure may be a founding or settlement estimate, and an estimate published within five years of a census is left out. The change column is computed, and is left blank where more than 20 years separate a figure from the one before it, because a gap that long is not a change between two counts.

The Cedar Grove M. E. Church was established at a very early date. A log meeting house was built in 1814, previous to which date the class meetings were held in the homes of the settlers. The original class was composed of these members: William Bailey and wife, John Bennett and wife, John and Peter Cook and their wives, George Graham and wife, Isaac Jones and wife, William Loveland and wife and Jonathan Motter and wife. A frame church, built near the site of the log one, was dedicated in 1849. The church belonged to the New Holland Circuit. The membership in 1879 was 79. Services have since been discontinued.

| When | Event | Place named | Harm | What the report says |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| July 2021 | Tornado (EF0) | New Holland | $100,000 | Based on aerial footage and photos, the tornado appeared to have initially touched down in a field just northwest of Dick Road. It then crossed Dick Road and produced damage on a farm. Some roof damage was noted on a single story residence on Dick Road, while a large outbuilding was also destroyed. Aerial footage confirmed evidence of the tornado in the grass and field between Dick Road and Mouser Road. Debris from the outbuilding was also scattered throughout the field between Dick Road and Mouser Road. Additional damage occurred on a property on Mouser Road, where two barns were completely destroyed. The tornado is believed to have then lifted shortly after it destroyed the barns. While the tornado ended before reaching U.S. 22, debris from the destroyed Mouser Road barns was thrown about one quarter of a mile and was noted on the other side of U.S. 22.||Based on the evaluation of the damage, winds associated with this brief tornado were around 85 mph. |
| April 2011 | Tornado (EF1) | New Holland | $75,000 | Two barns were destroyed along with a grain bin due to the tornado. In addition, debris was driven into a building and debris spread for about a mile into a field. Another barn was destroyed along with an overturned trailer along the path. Metal roofing was pulled in different directions. A couple of trees and large tree limbs were also down due to the tornado.
