Below is a list of mayors of Amsterdam (Dutch: burgemeesters), capital of the Netherlands. The city had four burgomasters, serving four years. Since 1389 the mayors were elected on 1 February.[1] In the 17th and 18th century, a new mayor was elected by his colleagues (co-option), but his appointment had to be approved by the stadtholder. In 1824, it was decided only one person could govern the cities of The Hague and Amsterdam at a time. Mayors of Dutch municipalities are appointed by the municipal council after the acceptance of the King's Commissioner of the province.[2]
