About New Amsterdam
New Amsterdam (~12 residents, 2020 Census) is a Washington Township town on the Ohio River in Harrison County — the smallest incorporated town in Indiana. Platted in 1815 by Jacob Funk and Samuel McAdams, it was once a busy Ohio River steamboat town. Today it's a near-ghost river town with historic buildings like the old Shaffer General Store, about 30 miles southwest of Louisville.
