		The colonies of Essequibo and Demerara were in Dutch times distinct from Berbice — that of Berbice was for a long period the chief settlement — and besides, the district of the Essequibo and its tributaries included the rivers and the districts of Pomeroon, Waini, and Barima on the west.
		In 1681, an island in the mouth of the Cuyuni River was cleared and planted with cassava for the use of the garrison.
		Upon the Essequibo, the Mazaruni and the Cuyuni, plantation was not extended at this period because the soil above the estuary was not sufficiently fertile.

	A persistent threat to Guyana's territorial integrity by Cedric L. Joseph
		From the west, the issue is the environmental treaty proposed by Venezuela to cover concessions in Essequibo, later modified to deal with the entire Guyana, within the framework of the McIntyre process which deals specifically with Venezuela's territorial claim and has nothing to do with the territory of Guyana.
		This was the first formal proposal of the New River line by the Netherlands, although the Netherlands had protested against the 1899 Arbitral Award determining the Cutari, and not the New River which was recently discovered by Barrington Brown in 1871, as the southern boundary.
		For the continuing official acts showing the New River Triangle as Suriname's territory, one such map was reported to be circulated during the first Caricom meeting convened in Suriname last May, and the continuing problems with the Ferry Project confirm a pattern of calculated foreign policy rather than of isolated and random acts.

	Venezuela - Venezuela and Guyana
		Originally settled by the Dutch, the Essequibo region was claimed by the Spanish, seized by the British, and subsequently restored to the Netherlands by France.
		The Venezuelans held that the Essequibo River should mark their eastern boundary; the British favored the mouth of the Orinoco in the Quiana highlands at the Brazilian border as the demarcation point.
		It was highly unlikely, however, that Venezuela would annex the Essequibo by force, risking regional conflict and international condemnation, merely to add to its already considerable petroleum and mineral reserves.

		While they had one or two abortive attempts at colonization, (including briefly in the Essequibo in the early seventeenth century), the Spaniards never succeeded in laying down durable settlements anywhere else in the Guianas until 1724, when they established a Capuchin mission station close to the Orinoco river.
		In 1803 the British assumed control of the three Dutch colonies of Essequibo, Demerara and Berbice, a control which was given international sanction under the terms of the Treaty of Pare and Convention of London in 1814.
		In 1844 they made their first official statement of claim to the Essequibo – that is, to all the land west of the Essequibo river.

		The Essequibo region is nearly sixty percent of modern day Guyana and consists of all territory west of the Essequibo River.
		In the late nineteenth century Venezuela became increasingly persistent in its claim on the British colony west of the Essequibo River, as reports surfaced that the region was rich in mineral and resource deposits, particularly gold.
		The result was that with the coming change in government for Guyana, the Venezuelan government declared the 1899 agreement null and void and revived their claim for all of Guyana west of the Essequibo River.
