On 8 May 1839, 62 former slaves pooled their savings together and bought plantation Beterverwagting from Baron van Groningen.[2] In 1842, Triumph was established to the east,[2]Triumph and Beterverwagting have grown together, and are often referred to as Beterverwagting/Triumph.[2][3] Both villages are under the same local government.[4]
Beterverwagting is located roughly 10 miles from the capital, Georgetown, and is an important feeder village for the sugar estate in La Bonne Intention, a village adjacent to it.[5] The name Beterverwagting comes from the Dutch words "Beter verwachting", literally "better expectation".
