St Thomas Parish, Jamaica
St Thomas Parish, Jamaica (Caribbean).Its chief town and capital is Morant Bay.
Geography: It is situated on the south eastern tip of the island in the county of surrey, bordered by the parish of St Andrew to the west, Portland to the north and the Caribbean Sea to the south and east. Notably, it is the 9th largest parish with a land area of 742.2 km2 (286.5 sq. miles). The land mass of St Thomas ranges from the peaks of the Blue Mountains and John Crow Mountains down to sea-level.
Brief History: The parish once known as Saint Thomas in the East was named after Thomas Hickman (Lord Windsor), Governor of Jamaica in 1662. In later years, bands of Maroons settled in the St. Thomas Mountains and eventually joined with those in Portland thus forming the “Windward Maroons.” They would play a critical role in the events that were to unfold. The history of St Thomas Jamaica is now most popularly associated with the events of 1865 (Morant Bay rebellion) – events which led to Jamaica’s Assembly being dissolved and the island’s status being changed to that of a Crown Colony.
Those events of over a century ago have also made Paul Bogle and George William Gordon National Heroes to modern Jamaicans and made Stony Gut and Morant Bay names which stir powerful emotions.
The parish is the birthplace of the Right Honourable Paul Bogle, designated in 1969 as one of Jamaica's seven National Heroes.
The Rt. Excellent Paul Bogle, National Hero, was a Baptist deacon from the district of Stony Gut in Portland. He led the Morant Bay rebellion on October 11th, 1865, which a group of people from the surrounding areas went to the then capital, Spanish Town, petitioning the Governor for an improvement in the conditions of the peasantry.

14 parishes in 14 days | Jamaica
I’ve always traveled outside Jamaica for the holidays but last year I decided to use the money I would use for the plane fare to travel around Jamaica for two weeks. With $454US dollars on my debit card, I packed my backpack and traveled solo on public transportation. It was the best 2016 vacation. I met a lot of people along the way, learnt lessons (a lot) and got scammed in Montego Bay? Each parish had something different to offer and I enjoyed every experience; both good and bad. It is a trip I would encourage anyone to take.Want to travel a lot this year? Explore around you first!
