Jamaika referaat
8 million people, it is the third most populous anglophone
country in North America, after the United States and Canada. Kingston is the largest
city in Jamaica and the country's capital. I am interested in this country and it is my
favourite country.
History
The Arawak and Taino indigenous people originating from South America settled on
the island between 4000 and 1000 BC. When Christopher Columbus arrived in 1494
there were over 200 villages ruled by caciques. The south coast of Jamaica was the
most populated, especially around the area now known as Old Harbour.
Christopher Columbus claimed Jamaica for Spain after landing there in 1494.
Columbus' probable landing point was Dry Harbour, now called Discovery Bay.
The capital was moved to Spanish Town, now located in the parish of St. Catherine,
as early as 1534. It was then called ,,Villa de la Vega". Spanish Town has the oldest
Cathedral in the British colonies.
