Amsterdam, Mohawk Valley city in Montgomery County, United States.
The city of Amsterdam spans both sides of the Mohawk River, with the Erie Canal flowing through its territory at an elevation of 110 meters.
European settlers from the Netherlands established the area around 1710, naming it Veeders Mills before incorporating it as Amsterdam in 1830.
The population includes descendants of Irish, Italian, Polish, and Lithuanian immigrants who arrived during the industrial growth period of the nineteenth century.
Amsterdam connects to major transportation routes through State Routes 5, 30, and 67, while Amtrak provides regular passenger rail service to the city.
The Sanford Clock Tower, transformed from a historic mill building, stands as an architectural landmark housing modern businesses in the city center.
