geography
The Abary is one of the smaller rivers in Guyana. It arises from numerous source rivers in the south of the Upper Demerara-Berbice region . For long stretches it comes close to the Berbice River . The Mahaica-Mahaicony-Abary (MMA) dam was built in the upper reaches of the river in the 1970s, and an important Arawak settlement sank in its floods . Further settlements of the "Amerindians" are at Tiger Island , Taurakuli and Doctor Ho Landing . Mahaica and Mahaicony are other nearby rivers (tributaries?). The river flows into the Atlantic Ocean in the Mahaica-Berbice region near Abary .
history
In 1672 the Commander of Essequibo and the Secretary of the Government of Berbice determined that the western border of the Colony of Berbice should be determined by the Abary River.
