About
Anna Regina is the capital city of the Pomeroon-Supenaam Region of Guyana, situated on the Atlantic coast, northwest of the mouth of the Essequibo River. Officially established as a town in 1990 under President Desmond Hoyte through the merger of 18 villages, its history traces back to an early 1800s Dutch plantation named in memory of a British planter's two daughters who tragically drowned there.
