Between Foulis and Golden Grove on the East Coast of Demerara, lies the hospitable community of Enmore. With sugarcane fields to the south of the village and the Atlantic to the north, Enmore is located about 16 miles (26 km) southeast of Georgetown. It is about two square miles in extent and is home to approximately 8,000 persons of various ethnicities, the largest proportion of which is Indian.

The village takes its name from the sugar estate which was made famous by the Enmore Martyrs,
