The Spanish (who ruled the island until 1655) were the first Europeans to explore the Caribbean. They eventually settled the Greater Antilles and either killed or absorbed the Arawak Indians native to the larger islands. The Antilles held a favored position because of their proximity to gold deposits, supply of Indian labor, easy access, fertile soil, and favorable climate. The region became known for its production of sugar, coffee, spices, and tropical fruits. The importance of the Antilles declined as the Spanish advanced into the New World through Mexico and Peru, and the islands mostly became supply bases. For centuries the Caribbean was a war zone fought over by European powers - England, France, Spain, and Holland - as well as pirates. In this century, the Windward Passage became a major shipping route between the eastern United States and the Panama Canal. Home Jamaica Resorts Information about Jamaica Jamaica Weather ...

104. HISTORY OF JAMAICA SECTION This is the mission statement and history of the jamaica Section. http://www.ewh.ieee.org/r3/jamaica/history.html

JAMAICA SECTION Home Bylaws Membership Society Chapters ... Announcements MISSION To advance the social and economic development of Jamaica, by promoting the application and development of electro and computer technology, through information sharing, networking, and knowledge dissemination. HISTORY Activities leading to the formation of an IEEE Jamaica Section started in 1971. A group of engineers decided it was necessary to continuously upgrade their technical knowledge by interacting with and subscribing to an established professional engineering organization. The choice was IEEE, hence Jamaica and the rest of the West Indies were deemed to be potential members of IEEE Region 9, due to their geographical location. The formation of an IEEE Section in the West Indies was also strongly recommended by Region 9. The first meeting to discuss the matter was held November 27, 1972 at the Sheraton Kingston Hotel with local engineers and the director of Region 9 in attendance. At this meeting a local steering committee was formed primarily to plan for the proposed IEEE West Indies Section. The members of the steering committee were Wilfred A. Roberts, Ruel Samuels and S. A. Mullings. At a later date, H. Al Hall joined the committee. A decision was taken to establish an IEEE Jamaica Section, instead of an IEEE West Indies Section by the steering committee because of difficulties experienced in attracting engineers from other parts of the West Indies as members. The steering committee also formed a Programmes and Planning Committee to facilitate the establishment of the Section. These decisions as well as other planned activities were incorporated in a press release on July 9, 1975.

Current Affairs Current Affairs Patterson defends environmental record Jamaica Observer Monday, June 24, 2002 IN the face of a recent barracking from environmentalists, Prime Minister P J Patterson has defended his government's environmental record, saying that while it had not reached perfection it had done more than most administrations in Jamaica's history. Speaking on Friday to hand out certificates of possessions of lots to beneficiaries of the Operation PRIDE programme at Whitehall, Negril, Patterson also highlighted his administration's record in shelter provision, but stressed that this was never at odds with environmental protection. "In our effort to provide housing for the people, we have never forgotten the need to protect the environment and to insist on sustainable development," the prime minister said. The administration has been criticised over a number of recent developments and his spokesman sparked a recent debate by insisting on the quality of the high achievements of the Patterson government on the environmental front. Patterson reiterated that the PRIDE programme was the government's response to the serious problem of squatting and unplanned development which the administration inherited on taking office in 1989.

To find information other than history for Jamaica then visit the Jamaica Country Page Jamaica Government Jamaica People Jamaica Geography ... Jamaica Economy Jamaica History Arawaks from South America had settled in Jamaica prior to Christopher Columbus' first arrival at the island in 1494. During Spain's occupation of the island, starting in 1510, the Arawaks were exterminated by disease, slavery, and war. Spain brought the first African slaves to Jamaica in 1517. In 1655, British forces seized the island, and in 1670, Great Britain gained formal possession. Sugar made Jamaica one of the most valuable possessions in the world for more than 150 years. The British Parliament abolished slavery as of August 1, 1834. After a long period of direct British colonial rule, Jamaica gained a degree of local political control in the late 1930s, and held its first election under full universal adult suffrage in 1944. Jamaica joined nine other U.K. territories in the West Indies Federation in 1958 but withdrew after Jamaican voters rejected membership in 1961. Jamaica gained independence in 1962, remaining a member of the Commonwealth. Historically, Jamaican emigration has been heavy. Since the United Kingdom restricted emigration in 1967, the major flow has been to the United States and Canada. About 20,000 Jamaicans emigrate to the United States each year; another 200,000 visit annually. New York, Miami, Chicago, and Hartford are among the U.S. cities with a significant Jamaican population. Remittances from the expatriate communities in the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada, estimated at up to $800 million per year, make increasingly significant contributions to Jamaica's economy.

RESORTS SPECIALS PRICE QUOTES CONTACT ... LOCATION INFO The History of Jamaica JAMAICA The Land of Jamaica The History of Jamaica Things to Know Before You Go Jamaica's recorded history began before the birth of Christ when Arawak Indians began arriving in tree-trunk canoes from South America. A gentle people who farmed and fished, the Arawaks were ill-prepared to absorb the impact of the Spanish under Christopher Columbus on May 4, 1494. The first Spanish settlement was established at Seville Nueva near St. Ann's Bay, but the settlers soon moved the capital across the island to present day Spanish Town. Finding no precious metals, the Spanish paid scant attention to their Jamaican colony. When an English force of 5,000 men invaded the island in 1655, they offered little resistance and within a few years abandoned it as a colony. Early English settler planted crops like tobacco, cotton and cocoa and logged indigo. However, privateering and piracy helped Port Royal become one of the richest towns in the Americas and certainly the most notorious. Its title as the wickedest city on earth went down with it when most of it sank during the earthquake of 1692. The eighteenth century saw the reign of King Sugar. Vast acreage of cane fields dominated the plains while hillside slopes palatial residences, like Rose Hall near Montego Bay, were built. Success of the great plantations depended upon a vast and cheap labor force. As a result, slavery was introduced into the New World. Soon, large, organized slave markets were established, consisting primarily of Africans torn forcibly from their homelands and sold as slaves to the planters. Jamaica itself not only absorbed nearly one million slaves but became a huge trans-shipment center for slaves for other colonies in the Americas.

In the 17th through 19th centuries Britain required that the colony should take a census or a count of the population in various years in order to provide statistics concerning the makeup of the population. The results of those censuses do not contain any names of individuals, but merely numbers of persons in various categories, which generally included: white, black, free colored, certain countries of origin, and occupation. Because of this lack of what most genealogists would consider census information, the best substitutes are the Jamaica Almanacs, lists of landowners, Directories, Church Registers, and tombstones. This site offers these substitute sources, as well as excerpts from old newspapers and other sources. This site now contains approximately 234,750 names of people who lived in Jamaica at some time.

Next My Jamaica GEOGRAPHY Jamaica is about the size of Connecticut in the United States. Jamaica is one of the three islands in the Northern Caribbean forming the Greater Antilles. It is the largest English-speaking country/island in the Caribbean Sea measuring about 4,400 square miles (11,400 square kilometers). Jamaica lies 700 miles South East of Miami and 90 miles South of Cuba. She stretches 146 miles from East to West and varies between 22 and 51 miles from North to South. At sea level, temperatures average about 86 F year round, falling steadily with increasing altitude to about 60 F in the higher elevations. It has rugged mountain ranges, with Blue Mountain Peak, the highest point, soaring 7,402 feet. It has miles of white beaches, bordered by the blue Caribbean Sea. It has 120 rivers flowing from the mountains to the coast. And it has great central plains, fertile agricultural lands, towering cliffs, magnificent waterfalls, dense tropical forests and eternal summer. HISTORY Christopher Columbus rediscovered Jamaica in May 1494 during his second voyage to the New World. During this time Arawak Indians inhabited the island. The original inhabitants of the island, the Caribbean (Taino) Indians have been on the island since the year 650- with the original name the Xaymaca. The Spaniards enslaved the Arawak and later brought Africans to the island as slaves. Jamaica thereafter became a neglected colony under the Spanish.

Med Rootvälta på Jamaica Av Fredrik Eriksson Det var med stolta steg jag klev hemåt, sent den där kvällen i december förra året, efter en stunds trevlig samvaro med Mattias och Thomas i Rootvälta. Inte stolt över att jag lämnade Linnégatan med pengar kvar på fickan. Nej, stolt över att grabbarna i ett av Sveriges bästa reggaeband frågat mig om jag kunde tänka mig att bli deras personliga guide för deras drömresa till Jamaica. Vem är då jag och varför frågade de just mig? Jag är DJ spelar reggaeskivor med King Genesis Sound System från Göteborg och på så sätt kom jag i kontakt med Rootvälta. Eftersom jag varit mycket på Jamaica och har en hel del kontakter där, så trodde de att jag kunde hjälpa dem att hitta guldklimparna där. Därför fick jag, Freddah , ansvaret för att planera och leda genomförandet av Rootvältas Jamaicaresa. Syftet med resan var klart: "Vi vill uppleva ursprunget till vår musik och hämta inspiration för framtiden". Dessutom ingick det i avtalet att leverera den reseberättelse som ni just nu är på väg att läsa. Så, håll till godo - nu åker vi!
