During the Surinamese Interior War it was the headquarters of Ronnie Brunswijk's Jungle Commando.[5]


Johannes King Hospital


The Moravian Church built the Johannes King Hospital, a medical clinic which opened on 29 May 1958.[6] It was named after Johannes King[7] who was the first Maroon missionary, and one of the earliest authors in Sranan Tongo.[8] The clinic is nowadays operated by Medische Zending.[6]
