Annandale is a community in the Demerara-Mahaica region of Guyana, located on the Atlantic Ocean between Buxton, and Lusignan. Many of the inhabitants originally came from the Lusignan estate,[2] while the former slaves of the plantation, bought the neighbouring Orange Nassau plantation and named it Buxton.[3] Annandale is mainly an Indo-Guyanese community. It is divided in Annandale North, South, West and Courabane Park. The economy used to be dependent on the nearby sugar estates.[2] The secondary school for the region is located in Annandale.[4]
