A relaxed, Caribbean feel makes this green and spacious capital stand out among other South American cities; but then again, it is hard to call Georgetown a city.
Initially, Georgetown was a small village, until the French decided to move the capital here in the 1780s. When the Dutch took over shortly afterwards, they called it Stabroek, until the British ended up dominating Guyana, and renamed the capital Georgetown, in honour of King George III. Still now, it is easy to see the history of Georgetown by just looking at names of the streets and wards: some have English or Dutch names, some have been renamed in honour of Guyanese heroes. A nickname for the city has been the Garden City of the Caribbean - even though it geographically does not belong to the Caribbean, a suitable name. It anyway is hard to put Georgetown on a par with the million-plus metropoles that are capitals of most other South American countries: even though it holds almost one third of all Guyanese, that does not mean it is an overpopulated city with far less than a million Guyanese around.
