List of mayors of Amsterdam

Add article description

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]

The House with the Columns, also known as the Deutzhuis, has been the official residence of the mayor of Amsterdam since 1927. The building was built by Paulus Godin in 1672 and is located at Herengracht 502.
