The mayor of New Holland is Mr. Burgermeister. Located within the city of New Holland is a neighborhood where Victor Frankenstein and his family live alongside their pet dog Sparky who lives next door with Elsa Van Helsing and her pet poodle Persephone. In addition to this, the letter signs of New Holland are placed onto a hill resembling that of the Hollywood Sign.
