Saint Thomas Parish, Administrative division in southeastern Jamaica
Saint Thomas Parish extends from the Blue Mountains to the Caribbean Sea, covering 742 square kilometers of terrain with mountains, rivers, and coastal areas.
The English administration established Saint Thomas Parish in 1664, changing its name to Saint Thomas in the East by 1677 to differentiate it from other regions.
The Morant Bay Rebellion of 1865 transformed the parish into a symbol of resistance, leading to the recognition of Paul Bogle as a National Hero of Jamaica.
The parish capital of Morant Bay connects to Kingston through a network of coastal roads, serving as a center for agricultural trade and administrative services.
Bath Fountain, discovered in 1695, draws water from hot and cold springs containing minerals that support treatments for various physical conditions.
