Spotlight On
In the shadow of the John Crow Mountains that mark the northern boundary of Kingston’s corporate area is the community of Mona, a generally quiet suburban neighbourhood with wide, tree-lined streets. The area is named for the expansive Mona Sugar estate, which once held stone aqueducts that supplied water to plantations and later to the city of Kingston. The Mona Reservoir has since replaced the old aqueduct system and today is a main source of water for the Kingston metropolitan region. > Learn More

Falmouth families:
At one time the entire coasted area between Falmouth and Montego Bay was owned by two families - "The Barretts took from Little River to Falmouth, the Lawrences from Little River to Montego Bay". The first Barretts came to Jamaica with the English army of conquest in 1655 and obtained extensive land grants in the area. Lawrence descendants at one time owned estates which included Ironshore, Running Gut (Half Moon estate) and Fairfield.
