Early history
In 1650, the governor of Barbados Francis Willoughby, 5th Baron Willoughby of Parham sent a ship to start a colony in Surinam. Lord Willoughby visited the colony, Willoughbyland, to assist with its development. Fort Willoughby, under the command of Governor Lieut.-General William Byam, was captured by Dutchmen from the States of Zealand under the command of Abraham Crijnssen on 27 February 1667 after a 3-hour fight. The Dutch changed the name of Fort Willoughby to Fort Zeelandia and Willoughbyland to Netherlands Guiana.
