LOCATION OVERVIEW

Junction is located in the region of St. Elizabeth. St. Elizabeth’s capital Black River (Black River) is approximately 28 km / 18 mi away from Junction. The distance from Junction to Jamaica’s capital Kingston (Kingston) is approximately 87 km / 54 mi.

Saint Elizabeth originally included most of the southwest part of the island, but Westmoreland was taken from it in 1703, and in 1814 a part of Manchester. The resulting areas were named after the wife of Sir Thomas Modyford, the first English Governor of Jamaica.

There are archeological traces of Taíno/Arawak existence in the parish, as well as of 17th-century colonial Spanish settlements. After 1655, when the English settled on the island, they concentrated on developing large sugar cane plantations with enslaved African workers. Today, buildings with ‘Spanish wall’ construction (masonry of limestone sand and stone between wooden frames) can still be seen in some areas.
