St. Ann, Jamaica
Description
The history of St. Ann begins with the landing of Christopher Columbus in 1494 on his second voyage to the Caribbean (the ‘New World’). So overwhelmed was he by the beauty of Jamaica’s “garden parish”, that as he pulled into the port at St. Ann’s Bay, he named the place, Santa Gloria. Christopher Columbus named the actual spot at which he landed Horseshoe Bay, because of the peculiar shape of the land. This was changed to Dry Harbour and eventually, a final name change was made to Discovery Bay.
