Blauwgrond is a resort in Suriname, located in the Paramaribo District. Its population at the 2012 census was 31,483.[2] Blauwgrond started as a Javanese village to the north of Paramaribo. During the 1960s and 1970s, large scale building projects turned the village into a neighbourhood of Paramaribo,[3] and is mainly known as the Javanese culinary centre with many warungs and restaurants.[4] The resort was called Blauwgrond (English: Blue Ground), because the earth had a bluish colour.
