Very
much the Island's capital,
the city of Kingston
dominates Jamaica politically,
commercially and culturally.
|
Kingston
is
the capital and the commercial,
administrative and cultural heart
of the island. It is the largest
English-speaking city in the Caribbean,
has the seventh largest natural
harbor in the world, and lies on
a wide plain with the sea to the
south and the St. Andrew Mountain
as its backdrop to the north.
It was founded in 1692 after an
earthquake devastated the capital
Port Royal. |
