Serpon糖廠是該國第一個歷史保護區。隱藏在通往Sittee河村的通道上一英里的叢林中,是伯利茲殖民歷史的重要地標。它是蒸汽動力Serpon糖廠的殘餘物,該糖廠成立於1865年,標誌著伯利茲工業時代的開始。該工廠由威廉·鮑曼(William Bowman)購買,它與由美國人購買和擁有的Regalia一起推動了伯利茲的經濟約三十年。

Estimates are that at its peak, the Serpon Sugar Mill was producing and shipping 1,700 pounds of sugar a month. In the late 19th century, Serpon was a technological marvel with its main crusher, boiler, beam engine, furnace, and hot air exchanger – all powered by steam. That was a breakthrough compared to the manual process previously used by the Mestizo and Maya.
