Surrey County, County in eastern Jamaica

Surrey County encompasses four parishes spanning 2,009 square kilometers, with Kingston serving as its administrative center and principal urban district.

The British administration established Surrey County in 1758 to implement a court system similar to the English model across eastern Jamaica.

The region includes multiple markets, religious buildings, and performance venues where residents maintain strong connections to Jamaican music and dance traditions.

Norman Manley International Airport provides direct access to Surrey County, while local buses and taxis connect all major towns within its parishes.

The county contains both Jamaica's capital city and its least populated parish, creating a stark contrast between urban development and rural landscapes.
