Kingston: Street Views
Kingston, the capital of Jamaica, was founded in 1692 after an earthquake destroyed the nearby city of Port Royal. It has a population of over 670,000 within the city limits and more than 1.2 million in the metropolitan area, making it Jamaica’s largest urban center. The city lies on the southeastern coast of the island, bordered by the Blue Mountains to the north and a large natural harbor to the south. Kingston serves as Jamaica’s main economic and cultural hub, home to the Port of Kingston–one of the busiest container ports in the Caribbean. The city is also famous for its musical heritage, being the birthplace of reggae and the home of the Bob Marley Museum.
