Amsterdam, New York, USA - Gas-Ko-Sa-Da, The Fall, Amsterdam, N.Y.

Amsterdam, Montgomery, NY

The city is within the original, now defunct town of Caughnawaga.

The first Europeans to settle here were Dutch immigrants about 1710. They called the community Veeders Mills and Veedersburgh after Albert Veeder, an early mill owner. After the American Revolutionary War, many settlers came from New England. Anglo-American residents changed the name to Amsterdam in 1803.
