bc/cp="mw-headline" id="Geschichte">Geschichte[edit]>>

Montenegro Bay is the main town of the St. James Rectory and is also Jamaica's only other official registered town, known as The Second Town or better known as MoBay in the native language and sometimes Bay by the natives. After Kingston, Spanish Town and Portmore, however, the town is the world' s 4th biggest metropolitan area with over half a million inhabitants.

Montego Bay is the second biggest English-speaking Caribbean town after Kingston. Montego Bay is said to have been named after the falsification of the Español term Mantecas ("lard"), supposedly because during the time of Spain it was the harbour to which the export of schmaltz, leathers and veal was made.

Jamaica was a Spanish settlement from 1511 to 1655, when Oliver Cromwell's Carribean exploration, Western Design, expelled the Spanish from the Isle. Montego Bay was the scene of the island's last great slavery uprising, the Christmas Uprising or Baptist War (1831-1832); the rebellion chief, Samuel Sharpe, was hung there in 1832.

Sharpe was named Jamaica's nationwide heroe in 1975, and the city's central plaza was re-named in his name. Today Montego Bay is known for its large Cornwall Rhospital, harbour complexes, second residences for many Kingston Jamaicans as well as North Americans and Europeans, good dining and supermarket.

Montego Bay's coast is populated by a number of touristic sites, most of them new, some on the site of old sugar cane orchards with some of the pristine structures and mills that are still intact. There are also large ethnical minorities in the town, such as the East Indians and Chinese, who lived in the middle to end of the nineteenth cent.

China plays an important part in the city's economic development, especially in retailing, where downtown Montego Bay is home to many stores and super markets for migrants. Also the East Indians are important because they run many souvenir and jewellery stores in the town.

There' s also a minorities of Europeans, some from Germany (the town is 90 minutes by car from places like Westmoreland's Teutonic town) and Great Britain (who have owned most of the country in the town since the time of the slavery).

It is also home to many Spanish and Spanish migrants, such as Mexico, Cuba and Spain, as well as many French, Russians and Italians (most of whom own houses or beach land in the area). Because of the strong impact of tourism and BPO, the town is also home to many Americans and Canadians who work either in tourism or BPO.

The town has a large number of Christians in town. It also has a unity of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It also has Buddhist, Hindus and Muslim societies. Jamaica's economic development revolves around Montego Bay. It has the largest share in the country's tourist industry.

The majority of tourists come and go from the airport or port of Montego Bay. Numerous multinational corporations have hotels in the town, such as Hyatt, Hilton Hotels, Holiday Inn, RIU Hotels, Royalton and Iberostar. It is home to the head office of the Sandal Group. Recently, the government of Jamaica, through the Ministry of Tourism, has started to concentrate on strengthening the city's hospitality and recreational facilities.

Although the city's main airfield has a number of multinational networks such as Aunt Annie's, Quiznos, Nathan's, Dairy Queen, to name but a few, the town itself has no accessio... With this new emphasis, the town became home to a new Hard Rock Café and in November 2017 to Starbucks' first site on Doctor's Cave Beach in Jamaica.

It has call centers serving many Fortune 500 corporations such as Delta, Amazon, Netflix and many others. Vistaprint has also set up its only call center in Montego Bay, right in the city's up-and-coming technology area.

While most of the city's businesses are located in the inner cities, CBD has recently started to move to the Fairview/Bogue area, where the Fairview Towntown Center is located, five minutes from Montego Freezone, the city's BPO area. It is also very important for the municipality, as it is home to Digicel's West Jamaica office and many audit, legal and assurance companies.

Downtown is still expanding at a fast rate and will soon be home to more shops, some of them only in Montego Bay. It is home to many banks including Scotiabank, FCIB, National Commercial Bank, Jamaica National Commercial Bank (JN Bank) and many others. It also has bureaus for many accounting companies such as KPMG and PwC.

There are many healthcare facilities in the town, including the Cornwall Regional Hospitaller and the recently opened hospit, a Spanish privately run clinic in Rose Hall. You can find educational opportunities in the town from the Pre-K to the Tertiary. There are many pre-schools and primary schools in the town. In addition, there are many primary and preparatory schools in the town.
