Towns
The main town in the Centrum resort is Brokopondo which is also the capital of the Brokopondo District. Afobaka is located in the resort. There are several other tiny villages which are still tribal: Asigron, Baling Soela, Boslanti, Compagniekreek, Drepada, and Tapoeripa.[2]
In 1960, an agriculture pilot project was started in Brokopondo and the village created for the project was named Brokobaka after Brokopondo and Afobaka.[3] The project lead to a palm oil plantation and factory in Victoria, Klaaskreek.[4] however the Surinamese Interior War and lethal yellowing resulted in the closure of the factory in 1996.[5]
