Spotlight On
In northeast St. Mary, acres and acres of banana plantations seem to stretch forever, but just between the swaying banana leaves and the sea is the small, coastal highway town of Annotto Bay. In the early twentieth century, Annotto Bay was a thriving shipping town on the north coast, with one of the most important banana shipping wharves operated by the St. Mary Banana Company. In the town centre, a handful of early twentieth century Jamaican vernacular buildings house government social service offices such as the Post Office, the Tax Office and the Police Station. > Learn More

Did you know?

Arrowroot: The arrowroot plant is native to the West Indies and Central America; it belongs to the same family as ginger. It was used by the original inhabitants of the area and it served as food but seems to have first been used for religious and medicinal purposes. The Indians used it in wounds inflicted by poison arrows-hence its name. Jamaica was once a producer and exporter of arrowroot. Nowadays it is used in face powders, glues, confectionery, ice-cream cones and paper and textiles.
