Amsterdam is an unincorporated community in Decatur County, in the U.S. state of Georgia.
Amsterdam had its start when the railroad was extended to that point.[1] The community was named after Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands.[2] A post office called Amsterdam was established in 1903, and remained in operation until 1959.[3]
