Demerara was one of the original British colonies that was joined into the colony of British Guiana , now Guyana . It was located at the mouth of the Demerara River , and its main town was Georgetown . Demerara is now one of three counties of Guyana. The other two counties are Berbice and Essequibo. Before the colony became British, it was a Dutch colony. Sugar cane–based sweetners known as '' Demerara '' are so named because originally they came from the Dutch colony of Demerara. See also |
