Initially, the area was named Polderweggebied after the Polderweg, which is a road running through it. Between 1885 and 1921, the Oostergasfabriek (Eastern Gas Factory) was located in the area. After the factory was closed, the neighborhood became a business area. In the early 2000s, multiple buildings were demolished and the terrain was remediated. In 2007, the first new buildings were constructed.[2] In 2008, the neighborhood was renamed Oostpoort.[1]
In 2013, Oostpoort had a population of 573. The local government is expecting the population to peak with 2,274 in the year 2020.[1]
The district office (Dutch: stadsdeelkantoor) of Amsterdam-Oost,[3] a shopping area,[4] one primary school, and two secondary schools[1] are located in Oostpoort.
