Tammenga is a resort in Suriname, located in the Paramaribo District. Its population at the 2012 census was 15,819.[1] The resort has been named after Henderijkes Tammenga (1815-1864), who after his first plantation did not succeed, started farming in a swampy area near Paramaribo in 1852.[2] Most of the area was sold to East Indian indentured workers in the late 19th century.[3]
