History of Portmore St Catherine

#portmore #stcatherine #jamaica

Located approximately 24 kilometres from Jamaica’s capital city, and situated on the south eastern coast of St. Catherine, is the largest urban community. This urban settlement is known as Portmore and is the second largest after the capital of Spanish Town. Portmore can be divided into two divisions, the plains to the north and the limestone hills of Hellshire to the south. Today, Portmore makes up the Municipality of Portmore from Passage Fort Drive to the north, to as far south as Port Henderson Road.
Portmore is one step closer to becoming Jamaica’s 15th parish. Its capital will be Portmore, which was the same model used to determine the capital for Kingston.
The dormitory community is expected to become the first to be granted parish status in Jamaica in 155 years, the last time being in 1867 when St Thomas was named a parish, absorbing the bulk of the historic parish of St David at the time

The history of Portmore is one that encompasses a rich and compelling past…A past that can be traced through different groups of people, localities and time…all of which, has made a significant impact on the area that is Portmore today.
