Overview
Overview
Uitdam and neighbouring Zuiderwoude formed a heerlijkheid in 1628 which existed until 1811. Home to 88 people in 1840. The first church was built in the 17th century. The current church dates from 1937. The village is known for its role in the 17th century where the fishers and craftsman in the village performed parttime as workers for the "Scheepskamelen". These scheepskamelen were used to pull sailing ships into the Amsterdam harbor through shallow waters.
