01 · Overview

Blauwgrond, in brief

Blauwgrond

Roots in the Blue Earth

Blauwgrond is a resort situated within the Paramaribo District of Suriname. At the 2012 census, the population of this area reached 31,483.

The Historical Turning Point

Originally established as a distinct Javanese village situated north of Paramaribo, the settlement derived its Dutch name, translating in English to Blue Ground, directly from the distinct bluish color of its local soil. A major historical transformation occurred during the 1960s and 1970s. Through extensive large-scale building projects executed during this era, the rural Javanese village was absorbed and converted into an urban neighbourhood of Paramaribo.

Plantation Legacy and Culinary Identity

Within the northern section of Blauwgrond lies Leonsberg, a former coffee plantation originally founded in 1819 by A. Léon. Today, Leonsberg functions as a transit point featuring a ferry connection to Nieuw-Amsterdam. Meanwhile, the broader resort has cemented its reputation as the primary Javanese culinary centre of the region, populated by numerous restaurants and warungs.
