Jamaica
Jamaica (; ) is an island country situated in the Caribbean Sea. Spanning in area, it is the third-largest island of the Greater Antilles and the Caribbean (after Cuba and Hispaniola).

List Of Cities And Towns In Jamaica
The following is a list of the most populous settlements in Jamaica.

Only three areas have the designation; Kingston when first incorporated in 1802 reflecting its early importance over the then capital Spanish Town, Montego Bay being granted the status in 1980, and Portmore, whose municipal council was given the city title in 2018.

Cities and towns Villages * Accompong (Saint Elizabeth) * Aeolus Valley (Sai ...
