'Mo Bay' - Jamaica's busy little second city.

A busy, vivacious town, Montego Bay is perhaps the most exciting place in this vibrant country. The main street, Gloucester Ave, runs parallel with the beach and has most of the shops, bars, hotels and restaurants. It is lively, but the cafés are great for relaxing and watching the world. Further into the town, pedestrianised Sam Sharpe Square is named after a local hero, a slave who led a rebellion in the early 1830s and was hanged as a result.
On the south side of the square is the Montego Bay Civic Centre, rebuilt on the site of an historic 1803 courthouse which was destroyed by fire in 1968. It houses the Museum of St. James, tracing the history of the area through to the present day, an art gallery and a theatre.

• MONTEGO BAY - INFORMATION
• Montego Bay, Jamaica, Montego Bay, Jamaica

• When Christopher Columbus first visited Jamaica in 1494, he named Montego bay Golfo de Buen Tiempo which means Fair Weather Gulf. The name Montego Bay is believed to have originated from the Spanish word manteca which translates as Lard, this has been alleged because during the Spanish period it was the port where lard, leather, and beef were exported. Jamaica was a colony of Spain from 1511 until 1655, when Oliver Cromwell's Caribbean expedition, drove the Spanish from the island.

  Today, the coastland near Montego Bay is occupied by numerous tourist resorts, most newly built, some occupying the grounds of old sugar cane plantations with some of the original buildings and mill-works still standing. The most famous of these are the White Witch's Rose Hall and Tryall, both of which now feature world-class golf courses.

  The Currency of Jamaica is the US Dollar.
