[1] It hosts an historical sugar factory, founded by British industrialists Walter (1858–1944) and William Leach (1851–1932).

In 1906, German anthropologist Robert Lehmann-Nitsche signed an agreement with the Leach brothers.

Lehmann-Nitsche recorded their songs in 30 phonograph cylinders that he sent to the Berliner Phonogramm-Archiv.
