history

Together with the two lakes Belmer- and Broekemeer, Buikslotermeer became a polder around 1627 . In 1825 there was a dike breakthrough in the village of Durgerdam and Buikslotermeer and the "Waterland" area were flooded. In 1916 there was another and, for the time being, last major flood. The Buikslotermeerpolder or Buikslotermeer used to belong to the former municipalities of Nieuwendam and Buiksloot . Both parishes were assigned to the city of Amsterdam in 1921 . The name Buikslotermeer is used for the whole Buikslotermeer polder area .
