Westmoreland Parish, Administrative division in western Jamaica
Westmoreland Parish spans 785 square kilometers of land, featuring the capital city Savanna-la-Mar and numerous beaches along its southern coastline.
The English colonists established Westmoreland Parish in 1703, designating it as the westernmost administrative region of Jamaica after gaining control from Spanish rule.
The parish maintains a strong agricultural heritage with sugar cane production at Frome factory, while local markets in Savanna-la-Mar display traditional Jamaican products.
Visitors reach Westmoreland through regular bus connections from Kingston, with accommodation options concentrated in Negril and transportation services available throughout the parish.
The Great Morass, a substantial wetland area in Westmoreland, contains extensive peat deposits that serve as an energy resource for local communities.
