Trelawny Parish, Administrative parish in northwest Jamaica
Trelawny Parish spans 874 square kilometers of land, featuring flat plains, limestone formations, and the natural reserve of Cockpit Country to the south.
The parish formed in 1770 when wealthy planters requested sections of Saint James and Saint Ann parishes, naming it after Governor Sir William Trelawny.
The Tambu, Gerre, and Mento Band from Wakefield maintain traditional music forms, while local schools teach drumming through Jamaica Cultural Development Commission programs.
The Trelawny Municipal Corporation operates from Water Square in Falmouth, offering administrative services through telephone, fax, and email communications.
Mount Ayr reaches 910 meters above sea level, while the parish contains multiple caves with phosphate deposits, including Windsor Cave and Carambi Cave.
