In April 1840 Buxton Village was established on the East Coast, Demerara,British Guiana by 128 Africans who had been freed from chattel slavery on August 1st, 1838. The Africans pooled their money and bought a 500-acre plantation, New Orange Nassau from its owner James Archibald Holmes, for $50,000. They named the village Buxton in honour of abolitionist Thomas Fowell Buxton. Buxton was the second village established by Africans in British Guiana.
Victoria Village, also on the East Coast of Demerara was purchased in November 1839, by a group of 83 formerly enslaved Africans.

This is only two, there are more.
Django, quit wasting your time with calcified racist scum whose racism is surpassed only by their gross ignorance of Guyana's history and facts. No black person posting here would bother to respond to them, only laugh at the jackass.
The history of black people's rise from slavery to owners of land is well documented, as is the opposition of the British who flooded those lands trying to subjugate blacks again, and taxing them out of business. Blacks then entered the civil service because many were EDUCATED! The vast amount of Indians at that time were illiterate, but would soon emerge from the plantations to enter business and so on as their literacy grew.
In the annals of Guyana's history, the nurses, midwives, teachers etc. were black. They were an educated class who could perform civil service jobs!
Blacks stayed in teaching, nursing, civil service etc. while Indians gravitated more toward entrepenurship. Note - their rice lands etc. were never flooded out by the British, nor were their efforts to farm.
To suggest that any one group, Indians or blacks, is superior in their emergence from slavery/indentureship is gross ignorance. The genetically bigoted indian posting here attempting to paint blacks as inferior displays his pure ignorance of Guyana's history.
But what can one expect from a neva see cum fuh see backwater trash whose biggest accomplishment in Guyana was moving to the outskirts of georgetown.
