Demerara-Mahaica - Region No. 4
The Demerara-Mahaica Region extends East of
the Demerara River to the Western bank of the Mahaica River, and is
predominantly low coastal plain, with a small portion of the hilly sand and clay
region further inland.
The population is concentrated along the coastland,
particularly in Georgetown, the capital city, which has a population of 56,095.
The population of Region Four is 297,162.
Guyana's administrative and
commercial activities are concentrated in this Region, especially in and around
Georgetown, the main port. There are many sugar estates, such as Diamond, Enmore
and La Bonne Intention, owned and controlled by the Guyana Sugar Corporation
(GUYSUCO). Some residents of this region work on coconut estates, and many
people have their own kitchen gardens. Cattle are reared in small amounts for
beef and dairy purposes.

Since Region 4 is the main economic centre of Guyana, the colours of the flag
include red for the zeal and dynamic nature of the people, black for their
strength and endurance and the symbol is the iconic Stabroek Clock.
