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:
– In 1903, Jamaica’s first motor car – a four-cylinder ‘New Orleans’ made in Twickenham in England – was driven in Black River.
first town in Jamaica to have telephone service.
Black River was also the first to have a telephone exchange.
