Description: Georgetown, at the mouth of the Demerara River, is where the British established a town in 1781 when they captured the territory from the Dutch. The French colonized in 1782 making the town the capital named Longchamps. The Dutch reclaimed the area in 1784, renaming the town Stabroek after the president of the Dutch West India Company. The British returned and the town became Georgetown in 1812 in honor of King George III. Today Georgetown is the capital and commercial center of Guyana with the nickname ‘Garden City of the Caribbean’ for its tree-lined streets in the older parts of town.
