Suriname, 1667
Early Jewish settlement in South America
This Dutch manuscript map of Suriname provides information from the brief period of English control from 1651 to 1667. This is one of the few cartographic records of Jewish settlement in that region; in 1665 the community was permitted to build a synagogue, a privilege not usually accorded to Jews in the English possessions. Its location is shown near the center of the map.
