Apoera, also Apura, is a town in western Suriname. The village has a population of 777 people as of 2020.[1] It is the final destination of the Southern East-West Link. 24 kilometres (15 mi) north-west on the other side of the Courantyne River lies the Guyanese village of Orealla. The village is home to the Lokono tribe,[2] but has been westernized. Due to the influx of people of Guyana, the languages used are English, and Sranan Tongo. Dutch is rarely spoken and the native language has all but disappeared.[3] According to the oral tradition, Apoera was founded around 1920 by the Gordon family.[1]
