Dam Cities
Many towns and cities in the Netherlands,
and certainly in its western part, Holland, bear a name ending in "dam".
Among them are of course Amsterdam, and the harbour city of Rotterdam,
but also numerous much smaller towns, such as the charming little towns Edam,
Monnikendam, the brandy city of Schiedam,
and villages such as Maasdam and Alblasserdam;
in the North of the Netherlands: Appingedam.
