SETTLEMENT | MELROSE IS ONE OF THE BEST NEIGHBOURHOOD TO LIVE IN MANCHESTER JAMAICA 2021

#FireReid#TrueJamaicanVibes
Manchester was formed in 1814, by an Act of the House of Assembly, making it one of the newest parishes of Jamaica. It was formed as a result of the amalgamation of portions of the parishes St. Elizabeth, Clarendon and the entirety of Vere. The amalgamation was done in response to a petition from the inhabitants of Mile Gully, May Pen and Carpenters Mountain who complained that they were too far away from an administrative centre. Manchester was named in honour of the William Montagu, 5th Duke of Manchester, the then Governor of Jamaica. He was governor for 19 years, setting the record as the longest-serving governor of the island. The capital town, Mandeville, established in 1816, was named after his eldest son, Lord Mandeville.
No sugar estates can be found in the parish; slaves worked on coffee plantations. After emancipation, the ex-slaves became independent coffee farmers. The irish potato was first introduced to Jamaica at Bethany, a town in the parish. Citrus also became an important crop, as in 1920, the citrus fruit ortanique, a cross between the orange and tangerine, was developed by Charles Jackson.
Many of Jamaica's businesses were started in Mandeville; the Mandeville Hotel, one of the oldest in the Caribbean, began operations in 1875. The first "Free Library" in Jamaica was established in 1938, and is the oldest Parish Library.

When you take the turning off the main road for Settlement Bolivard take the right turn in front of Ms Joyce shop to Red Bank. That's where we lived. Last time I went there the Chinese take over most of the land so no more green just the bright red dirt everywhere. Our house we sold is still there and next door,, but every other house and tanks gone. Fifty years ago it was called Landsettlement, now they add o boulevard.

[@chrisjames8524]

That's where I live as you enter the 1st turn on the right, in front of moody shop.

GREETING SIR FIRE

[@rohanwelsh9944]

The houses are huge very beautiful , its seems to me people are compete against each other to build the
Biggest house its good
to nice things they work hard for it some
Of them . but if they can
Help fellow Jamaicans that would good becarefull of who you helping.

[@MrNanah38]

Big house is a status symbol and that's because we are insecure about ourselves. We live in a society that put more importance to things not people, in the eyes of most Jamaicans things that are shiny is more important than their neighbor.

[@sheilalevy6999]

Very Nice.
