Post Body

NYC has Jamaica. Boston has Jamaica Plain. There's also Jamaica in Vermont. These are the ones that I know of, maybe there's even more throughout the US.

What is it with Jamaica that Americans seem to love this name?

There’s also a lot of Nassaus too, which I also don’t know the reason why
