Stewartville is a village district in Guyana on the Atlantic coast of West Demerara, just east of the mouth of the Essequibo River.

[2] Stewartville is about 10 miles (16 km) west of Vreed en Hoop, and is separated from the neighbouring community of Leonora by a trench.

[3] With the abolition of slavery throughout the British Empire in 1834, freedmen began making group and individual purchase of land in the village.

There is a record of four Sierre Leonians in 1874 petitioning from Stewartville for a grant of crown land to cultivate rice on Hog Island, Essequibo.

[17] Excessively high tides on 16–17 October 2005 caused breaches of the sea defenses on West Coast Demerara.

[19] In October 2010 the contractor working on a project to repair the sea defenses recommended using riprap construction as an alternative to building wave walls.

Unlike wave walls, which tend to be undermined, crack and require expensive repair, riprap defenses need little maintenance.

[20] In October 2011 it was announced that the EU-funded program to reconstruct or rehabilitate about 20 kilometres (12 mi) of sea defenses would not be completed by its month-end deadline.

The contractor had run into difficulties that included design changes, heavy rains and delays in accessing duty-free materials.

Speaking at the rally to an audience made up mostly of sugar workers and rice farmers, President Bharrat Jagdeo outlined a $500B development plan for the next five years.

[24] In October 2010 a boat carrying drinks and other products from the Banks DIH company to the Essequibo Coast developed leaks and had to be grounded on the Stewartville foreshore.

[31] Michael Joseph the Finance Secretary of Guyana as of 1 November 2018 to present was born and raised in Stewartville.
