Immigration to Suriname began in earnest during the 17th century when the Dutch colonized the region, bringing enslaved Africans to work on sugar plantations. Following the abolition of slavery in 1863, significant numbers of contract laborers from India, Java (Indonesia), and China arrived to fill labor shortages. These waves of immigration continued throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries, shaping Suriname's diverse cultural landscape. Today, Suriname is known for its multicultural society, reflecting its history of immigration.
