In 1614 the states of Holland granted to any Dutch citizen a four years' monopoly of any harbour or place of commerce which he might discover in that region (Guiana). The first settlement, however, in Suriname (in 1630) was made by an Englishman, whose name is still preserved by Marshal's Creek.
Other regional events in 1980 included a coup in Suriname in February and the "Marial boat lift" from Cuba, which caused a refugee crisis.
