Its name is derived from Amstellerdam,^[7] indicative of the city/'s origin: a dam in the river Amstel. Settled as a small fishing village in the late 12th century, Amsterdam became one of the most important ports in the world during the Dutch Golden Age, a result of its innovative developments in trade. During that time, the city was the leading centre for finance and diamonds.^[8] In the 19th and 20th centuries, the city expanded, and many new neighbourhoods and suburbs were formed.
The city is the financial and cultural^[9] capital of the Netherlands. Many large Dutch institutions have their headquarters there, and 7 of the world/'s top 500 companies, including Philips and ING, are based in the city.^[10] The Amsterdam Stock Exchange, the oldest stock exchange in the world is located in the city centre. Amsterdam/'s main attractions, including its historic canals, the Rijksmuseum, the Van Gogh Museum, Hermitage Amsterdam, Anne Frank House, its red-light district, and its many cannabis coffee shops draw more than 3.66 million international visitors annually.^[11]
