This small community is flanked by Bachelors Adventure and a little further, Enmore to the east; Strasthpey on its west; Melanie Damishana and the Atlantic Ocean sits to the North.

These plots were an upgrade from the primitive mud hut homes of the old village, which, bunched together, were unable to support the population swell that came in the early generations.

When, in 1964, the worst political strife between the Indo-Guyanese and the Afro-Guyanese took place, Guyana's Government and its economy stopped functioning and life in the entire country came to a standstill.

Commerce, Schools and Law Enforcement ceased to function as they had and there were rampant murders, vandalism, looting, and civil clashes in magnitudes unseen hitherto.

In quelling the uprising a line was drawn between these two dominant races and, as a result, mixed communities, like Enterprise, were forced to segregate its people.

Enterprise found itself the victim of social impoverishment that came with squatters, such as widespread untreated diseases (hospital services were decades away), and fights, murders, and robberies were regular news.

The transition period created hardship for all, but in the end, the small community of Enterprise expanded its borders to include these refugees and the social disturbances dwindled in time.

The end of the 20th century saw Enterprise transform to a giant descendant of that small hut village Nonpareil, housing the many branches of its offspring and new families from all around Guyana.

Even though over 90% of the population remains Indo-Guyanese - a small group of Chinese and Amerindian make up the minority - the culture is very similar to that of the rest of the British Caribbean, but with, according to the locals, an East Indian flair.

Many of the original religious customs and traditions that have not been lost were modified by the ages and vestiges of an East Indian heritage appear in a number of the festivities.

In 1964, twenty-nine of that teacher's students passed the PCE examinations, shattering a barrier that held down that community for many years, and allowed them to aspire for something better than being estate labourers.

Adding to the problems, many of the better-educated professionals and teachers emigrated to other countries during this period, because of low pay, lack of opportunities and rampant crime.

The Sugar Industry still makes up the largest part of Enterprise's economy, while General Goods stores and Commercial transportation come in a close second and third.

Poor maintenance of drainage and irrigation coupled with recent crop-killing floods have also contributed to more people moving from the farms to the factories.

Today less than half of the residents depend on the sugar industry and those working in factories, schools, offices, and commercial transportation are pushing Enterprise toward their new fields of dreams.
