What is now a sand pit operation was originally a clay bank mining operation that was the reason for the location of the village of Toland.  Less than 50 people reside in the close-knit community, which was built for the clay bank company workers in the first quarter of the 20th century.  The original community of Toland, Pennsylvania consisted of 11 duplex houses, built side by side along Pine Grove Road, with less than 0.17 of an acre of land to each.

The closest town is Mount Holly Springs, Pennsylvania located (3 miles north of Toland).  The village is roughly 10 miles south of Carlisle, Pennsylvania, 7 miles south east of Boiling Springs, Pennsylvania, and 15 miles South of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.  The only business in Toland is the Cherokee Campground formerly known as the Tagg Run Campground.  The campground restaurant is now closed.  Toland Mission is a small non-denominational church that can hold up to 74 persons.
