In 1909, the land was bought by the Griendtsveen Turfstrooisel Mij who built a turf straw factory at the site. A hamlet for the workers was constructed along the canal.[1][2] In 1932, it was home to 1,377 people.[3]

The narrow gauge industrial railway museum is located in Amsterdamscheveld, and uses tracks which were previously used by the factory.[2]
