Da Ausländer keine Grundstücke in den Vereinigten Staaten besitzen durften, bedienten sich die Niederländer Treuhändern. Die Treuhänder erwarben das in der Mitte und im Westen des Staates New York sowie im Westen von Pennsylvania gelegene Land. Ziel war es, das Land kurzfristig mit großem Gewinn weiterzuveräußern. Um den Kauf durch die Siedler attraktiver zu machen, musste jedoch umfangreich in die Vermessung und in den Straßen- und Kanalbau investiert werden. Die letzten Grundstücke wurden im Jahr 184 (de) The Holland Land Company was an unincorporated syndicate of thirteen Dutch investors from Amsterdam who in 1792 and 1793 purchased the western two-thirds of the Phelps and Gorham Purchase, an area that afterward was known as the Holland Purchase.
