Spotlight On
You won't find the community of Animal Hill on any map of Jamaica, but it is a real place, with an interesting history and a warm, caring neighbourly feel. Animal Hill is not far from Fat Hog Quarter, in the interior of Hanover, a rural area whose citizens are primarily small-farmers and cattle rearers. The name "Animal Hill" was originally an unkind nickname given to the area intended to make fun of the people that lived there. > Learn More

Spelling Jamaica:
The spelling of “Jamaica” was not standardized until well after the English conquest. Englishmen wrote the word as it sounded: thus we have Gemecoe, Gemegoe, Jamico, Jammaca and Mamecah. It was often spelled Xaymaca. The first map on which Jamaica appears was made by Bartolome Colombo, Christopher's younger brother, to illustrate the Admiral's fourth voyage. He spelled it Jamaicha.
