    Introduction
    Jamaica is an island nation of the Greater Antilles, 234 kilometres in length and as much as 80 kilometres in width , amounting to 11, 100 km2. It is situated in the Caribbean Sea. With 2.8 million people, it is the third most populous anglophone country in North America, after the United States and Canada . Kingston is the largest city in Jamaica and the country’s capital. I am interested in this country and it is my favourite country.
    History
    The Arawak and Taino indigenous people originating from South America settled on the island between 4000 and 1000 BC. When Christopher Columbus arrived in 1494 there were over 200 villages ruled by caciques. The south coast of Jamaica was the most populated, especially around the area now known as Old Harbour.
    Christopher Columbus claimed Jamaica for Spain after landing there in 1494. Columbus’ probable landing point was Dry Harbour, now called Discovery Bay.
    The capital was moved to Spanish Town, now located in the parish of St. Catherine, as early as 1534. It was then called „Villa de la Vega“. Spanish Town has the oldest Cathedral in the British colonies.
    The English Admiral William Penn and General Robert Venables seized the island in 1655. In 1660 the population of Jamaica was about 4 500
