Essequibo, often called the Cinderella County, is one of Guyana’s three historic counties. Its communities extend from the north-west and coast through the river islands and interior to the Rupununi.
Browse 422 named communities, villages, towns and neighbourhoods, grouped geographically and alphabetized within each area. Linked names open an existing Guyana GY profile or related place article. Unlinked names are directory entries awaiting a dedicated profile.
Reading the geography: County and administrative-region boundaries are different. This list includes the Essequibo islands and East Bank Essequibo portion of Region 3, but excludes West Demerara. It also includes the reviewed Essequibo River communities in Region 10; that region is not assigned wholesale to one county.

Coverage and sources
This growing directory is not a certified census of every settlement. It includes neighbourhoods within towns, and some historical locality names. Repeated names are qualified where needed; a related article may cover a landmark or journey rather than the whole community. County assignments are checked separately from administrative regions.
Reviewed 10 November 2026 using the GLSC county overview, GECOM locality and constituency labels, National Toshaos Council village directory and GLSC road-place gazetteer. These sources describe locations; historical records are not current population counts.
Additional river checks: Rockstone, Falmouth, and Guyana Forestry Commission station locations. Fairview’s geographic and administrative groupings differ in official records; both usages are acknowledged above. Karaudarnau/Karaudanawa is shown once under its alternate spellings.
