London Girl

The Best Places to visit in Jamaica
History Jamaica is located in the Caribbean and was first inhabited by the Arawaks before the arrival of Columbus in 1494. The island was first named “Xaymaca” which means “Land of wood and water.” Although the island was referred to as “Xaymaca”, the name was gradually changed to Jamaica by the Spanish. Jamaica was an English colony from 1655 when it was captured by the English from the Spaniards but it gained its independence in 1962 from the British. Jamaica is considered to be the richest poor nation because of its abundance of fruits and vegetables, animals and its culture.
