  • Black River is the capital of St. Elizabeth Parish, in southwestern Jamaica.It developed as a port around the mouth of the river of the same name. Today the city is a centre of environmental tourism and a gateway to the Treasure Beach resort area. Treasure Beach and Crane Beach are to the south-east, with Luana Beach to the west. In the 18th and early 19th centuries, it was a thriving sugar port with a market for African slaves.
    Growing prosperity in the sugar and lumber trade led to the construction of several warehouses. Some have been adapted as restaurants or as bases for eco-tours of the river.
    History
    Jamaican telegraph stamp used at Black River in 1900.
    Black River is one of the oldest European towns in the island of Jamaica, being shown on John Sellers' 1685 map. It was designed by the Leyden brothers of England, three wealthy men who were substantial land proprietors in the area.
    In 1773 Black River replaced Lacovia, 19 miles to the north-east, as the capital of St. Elizabeth.Soon after it became the main commercial, economic and transshipment centre of the parish. By the early 1900s, it was second only to Kingston in economic importance on the island.

    Good afternoon Mr Fire Reid much Blessings, yes sir that's my Town that's where my Grandma and my mother Use to go shopping well my mom leave to Kingston at a young age before leaving to the United States but we were still living with our grandmother for a while, those days Black River way a very busy Town Beautiful Hospital, Big Market House and then you have a area where the Public Transportation Buses, Mini van, Trucks would park from the deferent area, Black River did also have some of the Best Doctors in the Parish if not in the Island I really do believe that the Government should bring back some Real Life to Black River, it is a great place for great development plus it's have a lot of history. Thanks Fire Reid for giving us a better view of this area, good job 👍👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🙏🏼
