Before 1795
For most of its history, the modern-day province of South Holland was an integral part of Holland. From the 9th century to the 16th century, Holland was a county of the Holy Roman Empire, and was ruled by the counts of Holland. Some of the counts were powerful magnates who also ruled many other territories, culminating in a period of rule by the House of Habsburg which was terminated by the Dutch Revolt. From the 16th century to 1795, Holland was the wealthiest and most important province in the United Provinces in the Dutch Republic. As the richest and most powerful province, Holland dominated the union. During this period a distinction was sometimes made between the "North Quarter" (Noorderkwartier) and the "South Quarter" (Zuiderkwartier), areas that roughly correspond to the two modern provinces.
Description
South Holland (Dutch: Zuid-Holland (help·info)) is a province situated on the North Sea in the western part of the Netherlands. The provincial capital is The Hague and its largest city is Rotterdam.

Geography
The province's major towns include many of the most famous of the old towns of Holland, including Rotterdam, The Hague, Dordrecht, Leiden, Delft and Gouda. South Holland is the most densely populated and industrialised of the Dutch provinces. Most of its inhabitants live in a conurbation (centred on Rotterdam) that is the southern wing of the Randstad. To accommodate its growing population, several new towns have been created around Zoetermeer, Capelle aan den IJssel, Hellevoetsluis and Spijkenisse. The province is strategically located on the North Sea at the river delta of the Rhine and the Meuse. Other important rivers and bodies of water in this water-rich province include the Nieuwe Maas, Nieuwe Waterweg, Oude Maas, Haringvliet, Hollands Diep, Oude Rijn and Hollandse IJssel. The southern part of the province of South Holland consists of a number of islands lying in this Rhine-Meuse river delta. The most notable island is Goeree-Overflakkee, which geographically and in other ways is close to Zeeland. The province is bordered by five other provinces in the Netherlands: Zeeland to the southwest, North Brabant to the southeast, Gelderland to the east, Utrecht to the northeast and North Holland to the north. South Holland is a region in the ISO world region code system, having the code ISO 3166-2:NL-ZH.

Islands of South Holland
The southern part of the province of South Holland consists of a number of islands lying in the Rhine-Meuse river delta.

The islands are listed here alphabetically. A few of these islands bear the same name as a municipality (and are therefore linked to the information about the municipality). * Dordrecht (7 on the map) * Goeree-Overflakkee (1 on the map) * Hoeksche Waard (6 on the map) * IJsselmonde (9 on the map) * Rozenburg (10 on the map) * Tiengemeten (2 on the map) * Voorne-Putten (4 & 5 on the map)

Regions in South Holland
Some of the regions in South Holland are official regional groupings artificially created for various administrative purposes. Other regions have developed their own identities for historical, geographic or other reasons. These regions are sometimes undefined and overlapping. The province is officially divided into four regions: * Rijnmond ("The Rhine Mouth"), also referred to as the "Stadsregio Rotterdam" ("Greater Rotterdam Area") * Zuid-Holland Zuid ("South South Holland") * Zuid-Holland West ("West South Holland") * Zuid-Holland Oost ("East South Holland") Another official region is the Zuidvleugel ("The South Wing"), which refers to the conurbation consisting of the southern wing of the Randstad. Some of the other regions in South Holland: * Alblasserwaard * Bollenstreek (the flower areas found in both North Holland and South Holland) * Delfland (the area around Delft) * Drechtsteden ("The Drecht towns") * Duin- en Bollenstreek (“Dune and Bulb Regionâ€) * Goeree-Overflakkee * Gouwestreek ("The Gouwe Area") * Groene Hart ("The Green Heart") * Haaglanden (the area around The Hague) * Hoeksche Waard * Holland Rijnland * IJsselmonde (literally, "The Mouth of the IJssel", but an island in the Maas) * Kagerplassen (The Kaag Lakes) * Krimpenerwaard * Rijnland ("Rhineland") * Rijnstreek ("The Rhine Area") * Schieland * Vijfheerenlanden * Voorne-Putten * De Waarden (Alblasserwaard and Krimpenerwaard) * Westhoek or Westland (roughly including Hoek van Holland and the municipalities of Westland and Midden-Delfland)
The emergence of a new province (1795 to 1840)
The province of South Holland as it is today has its origins in the period of French rule from 1795 to 1813. This was a time of bewildering changes to the Dutch system of provinces. In 1795 the old order was swept away and the Batavian Republic was established. In the Constitution enacted on 23 April 1798, the old borders were radically changed. The republic was reorganised into eight departments (departement) with roughly equal populations. Holland was split up into five departments named "Texel", "Amstel", "Delf", "Schelde en Maas", and "Rijn". The first three of these lay within the borders of the old Holland; the latter two were made up of parts of different provinces. In 1801 the old borders were restored when the department of Holland was created. This reorganisation had been short-lived, but it gave birth to the concept of breaking up Holland and making it a less powerful province. In 1807, Holland was reorganised once again. This time the two departments were called "Maasland" (corresponding to the modern province of South Holland) and "Amstelland" (corresponding to the modern province of North Holland). This also did not last long. In 1810, all the Dutch provinces were integrated into the French Empire. Maasland was renamed "Monden van de Maas" (Bouches-de-la-Meuse in French). Amstelland and Utrecht were amalgamated as the department of "Zuiderzee" (Zuyderzée in French). After the defeat of the French in 1813, this organisation remained unchanged for a year or so. When the 1814 Constitution was introduced, the country was reorganised as provinces and regions (landschappen). Monden van de Maas and Zuiderzee were reunited as the province of "Holland". However, the division was not totally reversed. When the province of Holland was re-established in 1814, it was given two governors, one for the former department of Maasland (i.e. the area that is now South Holland) and one for the former department of Amstelland (i.e. the area that is now North Holland). Even though the province had been reunited, the two areas were still being treated differently in some ways and the idea of dividing Holland remained alive. When the constitutional amendments were introduced in 1840, it was decided to split Holland once again, this time into two provinces called "South Holland" and "North Holland". The impetus came largely from Amsterdam, which still resented the 1838 relocation of the court of appeal to The Hague in South Holland.
