Organized Hamlet in Saskatchewan, Canada

Amsterdam is a hamlet within the Rural Municipality of Buchanan No. 304, Saskatchewan, Canada.

The community was founded at the turn of the 20th century by Dutch immigrants, hence the name. In its prime, the community had a post office, grain elevator, garage, and a school. It, like many small towns, has been hit hard by the gradual trend toward urbanization. The hamlet now has fewer than 25 people; most are of Ukrainian descent.
