-------------------------------
Linden is the second-largest city in Guyana, and capital of the Upper Demerara-Berbice region, located at 6°0?0?N, 58°17?60?W, altitude 48 metres (160 feet). It was declared a town in 1970, and includes the communities of MacKenzie and Wismar. It lies on the Demerara River and has a population of roughly 60,000. It is primarily a bauxite mining town, containing many mines 60-90 metres deep, with many other pits now in disuse.
Linden is the largest urbanity without a university within the country, if one considers the University in Turkeyen in Greater Georgetown as outside Georgetown.
The mining company runs a colonial-era guest house, with other hotels including the Summit Hotel and Hotel Star.
Schools in Linden include Mackenzie High School, established in 1946.
