Nabaclis also Nabacalis is a community on the East Coast of Demerara, in the Demerara-Mahaica region. It is in low-lying country by the coast, which is subject to flooding in the rainy season.[2]
The local tradition for the name of the village claims that residents opposed the list of potential names to honor colonial-era leaders. In distaste, residents choose to encourage each other to “nah back d list".[3]
The main economic activities of the village are small businesses and farming, and many households rely on remittances.[3]
The community is served by the Dr. CC Nicholson Hospital, but as of 2012 it was not staffed with doctors around the clock.[4] The hospital was established as a medical center in 1994 with funds from the London-based Cyril Charles Nicholson Foundation, and the government began to upgrade it in 2003 to give residents of Nabaclis and nearby communities an alternative to going into Georgetown for treatment.[5]
The artist Emerson Samuels was born and brought up here, studying at the Golden Grove Methodist School.[6] Also born here was conductor Rudolph Dunbar.[7]
