History
During the French occupation between 1810 and 1814, Amstelveen was the capital of a canton in the French department Zuyderzée, and until 1964 the municipality of Amstelveen was called Nieuwer-Amstel. It is technically a large dorp (village), because it was never walled.
The city's close proximity to Schiphol Airport makes it a prime location for people working in the aviation industry.
