Skeldon is a small town in eastern coastal Guyana, near the border with Suriname. As of 2009 it had an estimated population of 4,380.

Economy

Sugar production forms the backbone to the local economy. The Guyana Sugar Corporation, Guyana's main sugar processing company has a factory and works at Skeldon. Bold text IN ADDITION TO THE SUGAR ESTATE, THE MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE LIVING AROUND THAT AREA IS INVOLVED IN ILLEGAL(BACK-TRACK) TRADING WITH SURINAME. IT IS ABOUT 1 HOUR FROM FROM NICKERIE, SURINAME. MOST OF THE PEOPLE USE FISHING BOATS AND CROSS THE COURENTYNE RIVER BUT SINCE THE MID 90'S THERE IS A JOINT FERRY THAT RUNS FROM MOLSEN CREEK, GUYANA TO NICKERIE. LETS DONT FORGET, SINCE THE LAND IS VERY FLAT AND FERTILE, THERE IS A LOT OF FARMING.
