Introduction to Latham, Guyana
Latham is a coastal town in the Essequibo Islands-West Demerara region of the Cooperative Republic of Guyana, located on the east bank of the Demerara River, about 40 kilometers from the capital city of Georgetown. An important agricultural and residential area, the town was named after Charles Latham, a 19th-century British colonial official.

Located in a tropical rainforest climate zone, Latham is surrounded by rice cultivation, coconut palms and fruit farms, which are an important part of Guyana's agricultural economy. The town is built along the river and has a small port facility, with easy access to water transportation connecting Georgetown to inland communities.
Society and Culture
The population is predominantly Afro-Guyanese and Indo-Guyanese, and the multicultural blend is reflected in local festivals and cuisine. Infrastructure includes schools, medical centers and markets, and the pace of life is relaxed, retaining a traditional rural Caribbean feel.
