Manchester Parish, Administrative division in central Jamaica
Manchester Parish spans 830 square kilometers of mountainous terrain, featuring three mountain ranges and extensive limestone formations across its territory.
The parish formed in 1814 through combining parts of St Elizabeth, Clarendon, and Vere, named after William Montagu, governor of Jamaica.
The parish capital Mandeville holds numerous educational institutions, including Northern Caribbean University and Church Teacher's College, contributing to high literacy rates.
