Kwatta is named after a former cocoa plantation located here. It used to be an agriculture area,[2] but due to its close proximity of Paramaribo, it is becoming suburban. In the 1838, the Kwattaweg was built connecting Kwatta with Paramaribo.[3]
In the early 21st century, building projects have started in Mattonshoop en Sophia's Lust.[4] The Kwattaweg is the main road in the resort and part of the East-West Link.[5] Kwatta is home to the Gummels Heliport.[6]
