Parishes of Jamaica in the context of "Montego Bay"

St. James is a suburban parish, located on the north-west end of the island of Jamaica in the county of Cornwall. Its capital is Montego Bay (derived from the Spanish word manteca (lard) because many wild hogs were found there, from which lard was made). Montego Bay was officially named the second city of Jamaica, behind Kingston, in 1981, although Montego Bay became a city in 1980 through an act of the Jamaican Parliament. The parish is the birthplace of the Right Excellent Samuel Sharpe (died 1833), one of Jamaica's seven National Heroes.

Spanish Town (Jamaican Patois: Spain) is the capital and the largest town in the parish of St. Catherine in the historic county of Middlesex, Jamaica. It was the Spanish and British capital of Jamaica from 1534 until 1872. The town is home to numerous memorials, the national archives, and one of the oldest Anglican churches outside England (the others are in Virginia, Maryland, and Bermuda).

Montego Bay (Jamaican Patois: Mobay or Muhbay) is the capital of the parish of St. James in Jamaica. The city is the fourth most populous urban area in the country, after Kingston, Spanish Town, and Portmore, all of which form the Greater Kingston Metropolitan Area, home to more than half a million people. Montego Bay is the second-largest English-speaking city in the Caribbean, after Kingston.

Montego Bay is a popular tourist destination featuring duty-free shopping, a cruise line terminal, several beaches and resorts. The city is served by the Donald Sangster International Airport, the busiest airport in the English Speaking Caribbean, which is located within the official city limits. The city is enclosed in a watershed, drained by several rivers such as the Montego River. Montego Bay may be referred to as "The Second City", "Mobay" or "Bay" locally.

Kingston Parish is one of the 14 Parishes of Jamaica. It is part of the amalgamated municipal unit of Kingston and St. Andrew Corporation along with the neighbouring St. Andrew Parish. Its seat is the city of Kingston, the national capital. Spread over an area of 25 km (9.7 sq mi), it is the smallest of Jamaica's parishes and had a population of 89,057 in 2011.

Saint Andrew (Jamaican Patois: Sint Anju) is a parish, situated in the southeast of Jamaica in the county of Surrey. It lies north, west and east of Kingston, and stretches into the Blue Mountains. As of the 2011 census, it had a population of 573,369, the highest of any of the parishes in Jamaica.

George William Gordon (d. 1865), one of Jamaica's seven National Heroes, was born in this parish.
