Columbus Park, an open-air museum near Discovery Bay, marks Columbus\u2019 1494 landing. Think about what it was like for him to sail around the world, even when people told him that he\u2019d fall off the face of the earth. When you\u2019ve finished pondering what it must have been for Columbus to navigate without GPS, study historic relics such as a replica of a Taino canoe, old locomotive, and aqueduct within the small gardens.
\nDiscover an Interest in Your Family\u2019s History<\/p>\n

Jamaica is the fifth largest island in the Caribbean with a population of about 2.8 million people. Its pre-history includes the Arawak and Ta\u00edno indigenous people who settled on the island between 4,000 and 1,000 BC. Fast forward to 1494, Christopher Columbus claims the island (named Santiago) for Spain. However, England (later Great Britain) claimed the island in 1655 (renamed to Jamaica). It became a leader in exporting sugar. However, African slaves and Chinese and Indian indentured labor were used. All were fully emancipated in 1838. In 1958, the island gained independence from the UK and became a province in the Federation of the West Indies, a federation among the British West Indies. Jamaica gained complete independence in 1962 by leaving the federation.<\/p>\n
