Saint Andrew Parish, Administrative parish in southeastern Jamaica
Saint Andrew Parish extends from Cross Roads to Rockfort in the east and reaches into the Blue Mountains, covering 455 square kilometers of terrain.
Established by law in 1867, Saint Andrew Parish was formerly known as Liguanea, derived from an Arawak word meaning lizard.
The parish hosts the University of the West Indies and Edna Manley School for the Visual Arts, contributing to Jamaica's educational and artistic development.
The transport center in Half-Way-Tree serves as a primary hub for public buses connecting different areas within the Kingston metropolitan region.
Devon House, built in 1881, stands as a testament to George Stiebel's success as Jamaica's first black millionaire.
