Saint Mary Parish, Administrative division in northeastern Jamaica
Saint Mary Parish extends over 610 square kilometers between the Caribbean Sea and the Blue Mountains with Port Maria as its capital.
The parish formed in 1867 through the merger with Metcalfe Parish, evolving from the Spanish settlement known as Puerto Santa Maria.
The region maintains strong agricultural traditions through the cultivation of bananas, coconuts, and coffee across numerous local farms.
The parish contains twenty-eight postal districts, each with designated codes starting from JMBMY01 for efficient mail distribution throughout the communities.
Fort Haldane, constructed in 1759, features a secret tunnel system that connected to the residence of Sir Henry Morgan.
