Pomeroon-Supenaam, Administrative region in northeastern Guyana
Pomeroon-Supenaam is an administrative region in northeastern Guyana that stretches along the Atlantic coastline. The territory features rivers and lakes scattered across its landscape, with settlements connected by waterways and inland roads.
The region was created through administrative reforms in 1980, with Anna Regina established as its regional center. This reorganization changed how local communities were governed and administered.
People here practice traditions rooted in their different backgrounds, and you can see this in local celebrations, crafts, and the food prepared in homes and small markets. The mix of customs shapes how communities gather and celebrate together throughout the year.
Travel here relies on boats for river and lake routes, as well as roads connecting larger settlements like Charity, Pickersgill, and Spring Garden. The dry season offers better conditions for getting around the region.
Several lakes including Capoey, Mainstay, and Hot and Cold shape the region's geography and serve as natural dividers between communities. These bodies of water sustain fishing and farming, making them central to how people live here.
