What are Suriname's major cities?

Answer 1

Much of Suriname is either uninhabited or sparsely populated. So the important cities tend to be those that are administrative, business, cultural and governmental centers in the country. Specifically, Suriname is divided into ten administrative centers. Eight particularly are active in the running of the Surinamese economy and polity.

Most important of all the districts is the Paramaribo District. Paramaribo is Suriname's capital and largest city. Its population is over 240,000. Its inner city is a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Other important districts are Brokopondo, Commewijne, Marowijne, Nickerie, Para, Saramacca, and Wanica. In half of the districts, only the district capital city is an important center. In the other half, there's another important center in addition to the district capital.

Those districts with one important city each are found in the north of the country. Para's important center is its district capital city at Onverwacht. Saramacca's important center is its district capital city at Groningen. Wanica's important center is its district capital city at Lelydorp. Lelydorp may be considered the second most important city nationally, after Paramaribo. It's population of around 19,580 is second to the national capital.

Two of the districts with more than one important center are found in the north. One is Brokopondo District. Its important centers include Brownsweg, and the district capital city at Brokopondo. Commewijne's important centers include Nieuw Amsterdam and the district capital city at Marienburg.

Another district with two important centers is Marowijne in the northeast. Its important centers include Moengo and the district capital city at Albina.

Still another is Nickerie in the northwest. Its important centers include Wageningen and the district capital city at Nieuw Nickerie.
