Domburg, Suriname

Domburg is a resort in the Wanica District of Suriname, located on the northern coast of South America.

[1] Domburg is located on the Suriname River, about 16 kilometers to the south of the capital of Paramaribo.

It is bordered by the district Commewijne to the north and east, Para to the south and the resort Houttuin to the west.

[3] In 1873 the local population started a program of independent agriculture which was encouraged by governor Van Sypesteyn who designated Nieuw Amsterdam and Domburg as suitable locations.

[5] In the 1930s a road was built connecting Domburg with Paramaribo which attracted industry to the area.
