History
The ward's name, as the old name of the city, is reflected in Georgetown's main market, Stabroek Market, which has existed on or near its present location since the 18th century,[3] and the newspaper Stabroek News, established in 1986.[4] The Parliament Building is located in Stabroek on the same spot where the Court of Policy used to be.[5]
