Essequibo too but you know I would notice Berbice first Big Grin

Now in Canje there are Reliance Settlement and neighboring is Reliance Abandon. Wonder if the latter was an abandon land and squatters moved there and it became a village. Pure speculation here, that's not how it got its name Big Grin

hmmmm, interesting. Did Triumph got its name from some sort of victory? I can see how the ones with dutch and english names came about - the settlers - but names like Triumph, Poor Hall, Gangaram Big Grin, Sheet Anchor, etc would be interesting to learn where it originated from
