Slotermeer is a neighborhood of Amsterdam, Netherlands, in the Dutch province of North Holland. The name of Slotermeer comes from the Slootermeer Lake that used to be in this area

History

Slotermeer is part of a larger neighborhood called Westelijke Tuinsteden. Following the creation of the Algemeen Uitbreidingsplan in 1935, the first outline for the Slotermeer neighbourhood was drawn up in 1939. The Slootermeer Lake was drained in 1644. This formed the Sloterdijkermeerpolder (a polder), which was excavated into Sloterplas between 1948 and 1956.

Garden village Uitweg

In November 1927, the municipality of Amsterdam decided that the land west of the Ringspoorbaan would primarily be used for single-family houses. The housing department was tasked to work out a plan in cooperation with public works for the construction of an area of about 400 hectares.
