East Lacovia To Burnt Savannah | St Elizabeth Jamaica

Lacovia is a town in the Parish of Saint Elizabeth, Jamaica, located on the Black River between the Upper Morass and the Lower Morass.
It is the longest village in Jamaica, laid out for more than five miles on either side of the South Coast highway and the Black River, both of which divide the community into East and West Lacovia.
The name derives from La Caoban, the name of the place during the Spanish occupation. Following the English invasion it was called Coby. In 1784 it consisted of 20 houses and was the first capital of Saint Elizabeth, being the home of the Quarter Sessions and Petty Courts.
It was the home of a group of enslaved Madagascans who left the locality to join the Maroons prior to the First Maroon War
Throughout the 18th century, Black River and Lacovia alternated as the capital of the parish of St Elizabeth. At one point in time, the river was the main transportation route for the parish, as road travel through the dense and humid mangrove swamps was treacherous at worst, miserable at best.
