History

The city is within the original "Town of Caughnawaga" (now defunct), formed in northern Montgomery County in 1788.

The city was incorporated as a village in 1830 from a section of the Town of Amsterdam. New charters in 1854, 1865, and 1875 increased the size of the village. In 1885, Amsterdam became a city, which was subsequently increased in size again by annexation of the former "Village of Port Jackson," which became the fifth ward of the city.
