Black River has been my second home for years & it is a place where I served as Junior Mayor.

For a long time, I’ve been so disappointed with how the town has been treated as it has a profound history.

In fact, at a point in our history, it rivaled Kgn’s economic importance. A town with many historic firsts:

first town in Jamaica to have telephone service.

Black River was also the first to have a telephone exchange.
