Adoemakeë started working at a nearby wood plantation, and claimed to received ownership after the plantation owner died in 1861, however the deed was lost. The village has a mixed population of the Ndyuka, Saramaka, and Matawai tribes. In the late 19th century, the village was a stronghold of the Gaan Gadu (Great God) religion which rapidly spread to the creole and maroon communities. (en)
