So any body lives currently in the New River Triangle?

Before Europeans contact with the natives, they called the Guianas coastline, "The Wild Coast." It must have been a scary place. As for British Guiana, had it not been for the Dutch, the land would not have been colonized. For the longest while, the Dutch battled the Portuguese for a Dutch colony. The Portuguese wanted no part of that arrangement. The Dutch were ousted from Brazil.

 

Then they organised themselves and invested in the colonizing of some regions on the Essequibo. They brought their knowledge of sugar cultivation from Brazil-they were successful at it.
