St. Andrew

Description
St. Andrew was one of the first parishes in Jamaica to be established by law in 1867. Before being established, it was known as ‘Liguanea’, the Taino word for iguana. St. Andrew lies to the north, west and east of Kingston. Half-Way Tree, the capital of St. Andrew, is commonly referred to as the midway mark between what is called “Uptown” and “Downtown”.
Built shortly after Independence as the official residence of the Prime Minister, Jamaica House is now used as the Prime Minister’s offices. It is located on Hope Road next to King’s House.
