Coronie District, Agricultural district in northern Suriname.

Coronie District extends across 3,902 square kilometers of coastal land, featuring mangrove forests, wetlands, and agricultural fields along the Atlantic Ocean.

The district originated from English and Scottish colonial plantations in 1808, with Burnside being the first established settlement in the region.

The district population of 3,391 residents maintains traditions through agricultural festivals, with Creole and Hindustani communities forming the main ethnic groups.

Transportation within Coronie relies on the East-West Connection road, which links the district capital Totness to Paramaribo and other major cities.

The district contains three nature reserves: Peruvia, Bigi Pan, and Noord Coronie, protecting a total of 125,200 hectares of coastal ecosystems.
