Essequibo Islands-West Demerara
Essequibo Islands-West Demerara, Administrative region in coastal Guyana.
The Essequibo Islands-West Demerara region spans 3,755 square kilometers along the Atlantic coast, encompassing numerous river islands and mainland territories.
The British administration reorganized this territory in 1958, separating the Essequibo region from the Essequibo Islands and establishing the West Demerara district.
The region includes multiple settlements where residents maintain traditions through local markets, religious centers, and community gatherings along the Essequibo River.
Travelers can reach various islands and settlements via water taxis departing from Parika, which serves as the main transportation hub for the region.
The territory contains 365 river islands within the Essequibo River system, including the three largest: Hogg Island, Wakenaam, and Leguan.
