About the City
The first historical mention of Amersfoort as a settlement dates back to the year 1028. The name Amersfoort is derived from its location near a ford (shallow crossing, old Dutch: voorde) of the river de Eem (old name: Amer).
Like many cities in the Netherlands, the modern city of Amersfoort combines its rich history with solid Dutch infrastructure and all the comforts of 21st-century living!
