From 1838 onwards, indentured servants from India were brought to British Guiana to work on the plantations. They were contracted to serve for five years, however many discovered that it was difficult to return home. In the mid-19th century, many sugar estates went out of business, leading to unemployment and homelessness. The Pomeroon River had been settled in the Dutch colonial times, however the upstream area was a swampy area which was never cultivated. The Tacoordeen family were the first to settle in Jacklow. In 1860, the Anglican pastor Jacklowe built a shed in the village for missionary purposes. Mohamed Sarafraz, an indentured labourer, settled in Jacklow and started to construct a masjid (mosque) in the village. In 1912, the Jacklow Masjid opened measuring  by  and was constructed using manicole wood. The mosque served a large area, and developed into a tourist destination for visiting muslims. In 2019, the mosque was renovated and recommissioned. In 2021, Jacklow and surrounding area was affected by severe flooding of the Pomeroon River. Overview
