WORLDGUIDE Introduction See Image Gallery Transport Money Essential Info RELATED Thorn Tree Forum Postcards Travel Links Dutch and British colonisation made an indelible mark on Guyana, leaving behind a now dilapidated colonial capital, a volatile mix of peoples and a curious political geography. The country's natural attractions, however, are impressive, unspoiled and on a scale that dwarfs human endeavour. Dangerous Situation in Georgetown and New Amsterdam Home invasions, carjackings, kidnappings and shootings are on the increase in Guyana, particularly in Georgetown and New Amsterdam. If driving, lock all your doors. The East Coast Demerara is also a high-risk area, particularly Buxton, Friendship and Annadale, as are the East Bank regions and the highway from Timerhi to Linden. Veins of social and political unrest run through Guyana, and Georgetown is a magnet for sporadic, low-level violence. Although it's rarely directed at foreigners, visitors are advised to avoid walking alone after dark, maintain alertness at all times and keep out of Georgetown's Tiger Bay and Stabroek Market areas and all of the city's south.

Guyana - HISTORY
Guyana - History
THE EARLY YEARS The first humans to reach Guyana belonged to the group of peoples that crossed into North America from Asia perhaps as much as 35,000 years ago. These first inhabitants were nomads who slowly spread south into Central America and South America. Although great civilizations later arose in the Americas, the structure of Amerindian society in the Guianas remained relatively simple. At the time of Christopher Columbus's voyages, Guyana's inhabitants were divided into two groups, the Arawak along the coast and the Carib in the interior. One of the legacies of the indigenous peoples was the word Guiana, often used to describe the region encompassing modern Guyana as well as Suriname (former Dutch Guiana) and French Guiana. The word, which means ""land of waters,"" is highly appropriate, considering the area's multitude of rivers and streams.
Guyana - THE DUTCH SETTLE IN GUYANA
In 1621 the government of the Netherlands gave the newly formed Dutch West India Company complete control over the trading post on the Essequibo. This Dutch commercial concern administered the colony, known as Essequibo, for more than 170 years. The company established a second colony, on the Berbice River southeast of Essequibo, in 1627. Although under the general jurisdiction of this private group, the settlement, named Berbice, was governed separately. Demerara, situated between Essequibo and Berbice, was settled in 1741 and emerged in 1773 as a separate colony under direct control of the Dutch West India Company.

Georgetown - History In 1812, with English occupation, it was renamed Georgetown after the then reigning Sovereign George III. The town began to expand and develop and in the early years thereafter, the following wards were added:
  • Robbstown
  • Cummingsburg
  • Kingston
  • Werk-en-Rust
Under the English administration, the town was controlled by a Board of Police. However with the abolition of slavery in 1834, the powers of the Board of Police proved unequal to the new conditions and on 1st March, 1837, an Ordinance was passed to establish a Mayor and Town Council. Under the Municipal and District Councils Act Chapter 28:01, Greater Georgetown came into being on 29th April, 1970. This Act extended the City from 2.5 square miles to 15 square miles, covering Cummings Lodge on the East Coast to Agricola on the East Bank Demerara. Click To Go Back

    The people drawn from these diverse origins have coexisted peacefully for the most part. Slave revolts, such as the one in 1763 led by Guyana's national hero, Cuffy, demonstrated the desire for basic rights but also a willingness to compromise. Politically inspired racial disturbances between Indo-Guyanese and Afro-Guyanese erupted in 1962-64, and again following elections in 1997 and 2001. The basically conservative and cooperative nature of Guyanese society has usually contributed to a cooling of racial tensions. Racial tensions, however, do constitute Guyana’s greatest ongoing social stress point.
    Guyanese politics, nevertheless, occasionally has been turbulent. The first modern political party in Guyana was the People's Progressive Party (PPP), established on January 1, 1950, with Forbes Burnham, a British-educated Afro-Guyanese, as chairman; Dr. Cheddi Jagan, a U.S.-educated Indo-Guyanese, as second vice chairman; and his American-born wife, Janet Jagan, as secretary general. The PPP won 18 out of 24 seats in the first popular elections permitted by the colonial government in 1953, and Dr. Jagan became leader of the house and minister of agriculture in the colonial government. Five months later, on October 9, 1953, the British suspended the constitution and landed troops because, they said, the Jagans and the PPP were planning to make Guyana a communist state. These events led to a split in the PPP, in which Burnham broke away and founded what eventually became the People's National Congress (PNC).

    Postindependence
    Guyana Table of Contents Guyana achieved political independence in 1966, but economic independence did not immediately follow. Most decisions affecting the economy continued to be made abroad because foreign companies owned most of the agricultural and mining enterprises. Two British companies, Booker McConnell and Jessel Securities, controlled the largest sugar estates and exerted a great deal of influence on the nation. In the early 1970s, the Booker McConnell company alone accounted for almost one-third of Guyana's gross national product (GNP). The company produced 85 percent of Guyana's sugar, employed 13 percent of the work force, and took in 35 percent of the country's foreign exchange earnings. Two other foreign companies dominated the mining sector: the Demerara Bauxite Company (Demba), a subsidiary of the Aluminum Company of Canada (Alcan); and the Reynolds Bauxite Company, a subsidiary of the Reynolds Metals Company of the United States. Together these firms accounted for 45 percent of the nation's foreign exchange earnings. Foreign companies also controlled the major banks. According to critics of the country's economic system, foreign companies were satisfied with the existing arrangements and had no incentive to develop the local economies. In short, foreign control was stifling regional aspirations. Many people in Caribbean countries, particularly those with left-leaning political sympathies, called for government control of the economies.

    HISTORY OF THE ECONOMY
    Guyana Table of Contents
    Preindependence
    Sugar soon emerged as the most important plantation crop. Sugar was first grown in colonial Guyana in 1658 but was not produced on a large scale until the late 1700s, about 100 years later than in the rest of the Caribbean region. Because Guyana's plantation owners entered the sugar industry late, they were able to import relatively advanced equipment for milling sugarcane. This investment in advanced equipment gave the local sugar industry a firm foundation and made it the leading sector of the local economy. By 1800 there were an estimated 380 sugar estates along the coast. In the 1990s, almost two centuries later, the population was still concentrated on the same coastal strip of land, and sugar was still one of the nation's two most valuable products. Guyana's distinct ethnic makeup can be traced to conditions that prevailed during the colonial period. To supply the labor required for sugar cultivation, plantation owners at first imported slaves from West Africa. (The indigenous Amerindian population of Guyana was small and lived mostly in the impenetrable interior.) Thousands of slaves were imported each year as plantations expanded; more than 100,000 slaves worked in the colony by 1830. The racial and ethnic divisions that arose out of the two great waves of immigration into Guyana in the colonial period had a profound effect on the country. The divisions between Afro-Guyanese and Indo-Guyanese persisted into the modern period, in both economic and political terms. In the early 1990s, most IndoGuyanese were still employed in agriculture, growing sugar and rice, while the majority of Afro-Guyanese lived in Guyana's few urban areas..

    Description

    The Dutch arrived in Guyana, and subsequently settled here in 1580.
    Guyana's history is replete with battles fought and lost, as the Dutch, as well as the British, French and Spanish tried for centuries to control this land.
    Covered with rivers and a massive rainforest, it's a rugged, unspoiled country, with over 90% of its population living along the coastal areas.
    Guyana gained independence from the UK in 1966 and is South America's only English speaking country.
    Today, with its state-controlled past left behind, it's moving into a free market system and a brighter, independent future.

    Volume 1.4 December 2002 Monument Watch Bourda Cemetery Beneath the shadow of rugged palm trees, tall green grass and shrubbery are the tombs of men and women who can be identified in one way or another with important events of Guyana's history. This was a private cemetery owned by Joseph Bourda, one of the most notable personas in the colony during that period, having served as Governor on two occasions. When Bourda died in 1798 in Paris, the cemetery was for a long time left unattended. In 1876 the Government of British Guiana entered into an agreement with the heirs of Joseph Bourda to take over Plantation Vlissingen, which comprised of New Town, Queenstown, Robbstown and Bourda. Ordinance No. 8 of 1876 vested Plantation Vlissingen, in three Commissionaires, the authority to sell, distribute and grant titles of land to purchasers and heirs of Bourda's estate.
    Several distinguished persons such as Adrian Tinne, John Patoir, Lawrence Cruikshank, William Booker, Thomas McCalmont, John Reid, Thomas Alty, Jitte Bent and members of the Jeffrey, Hill, Vythuis and Turner families, the Honourable Sir Peter Rose, after whom Peter Rose Street is named, and the city's first Mayor John Croal, are entombed in the Bourda Cemetery.

    Guyana observes African indentureship anniversary today Guyana Chronicle
    May 24, 2001
    MINISTER of Culture, Youth and Sports, Ms. Gail Teixeira has said that indentureship helped to frame the diverse culture existing here and has urged students to take time out to explore Guyana's history. Today, Guyana will be observing the 159th anniversary of the arrival of the first African indentured labourers and some of the artifacts they brought here are on exhibition at the National Museum in the city. Teixeira made the appeal to students Monday at the opening of the exhibition on the history of indentureship here. The ceremony was held on the lawns of the museum. Teixeira said the exhibition, the first of its kind, is aimed at highlighting the significant role indentureship played in framing Guyana's history. "When we look at our culture we think of performing arts. "When we talk about our culture we are really talking about the way we live as a people - all the things that contribute to our way of live", she said. She noted that even though the period was short, it brought many peoples to Guyana, creating the "wonderful kaleidoscope" existing now.
