Amsterdam __ "The city was
founded in the late 12th century as a small fishing village. The historical
centre with its concentric canals was largely built during the Dutch Golden Age
in the 17th century." You will find an encyclopedic article. - illustrated -
From wikipedia -
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amsterdam
Amsterdam History __ "The oldest archaeological finds in Amsterdam date from
Roman times - coins and a few artefacts suggest there were people around, but
there's no evidence of human settlement. This isn't surprising, considering the
region was a delightful mass of shifting lakes, swamps and soggy peat.
Amsterdam's earliest settlers were dam-building 12th-century farmers and
fisherfolk who tamed the marshlands around the Amstel with ditches and dikes."
