Georgian Architecture and Heritage
Falmouth
The capital of Trelawny, Falmouth is known for one of the Caribbean’s best-preserved collections of Georgian architecture.
History & cultural background
Founded in the late 18th century, Falmouth prospered as a port shipping sugar and rum from Trelawny’s plantations.
That wealth depended on the forced labour of enslaved Africans. Their history is an essential part of understanding Falmouth today.
More history & heritage
William Knibb, a Baptist missionary and abolitionist, worked in Falmouth; the Knibb Memorial Baptist Church honours that legacy.
Falmouth was among the early Jamaican towns to receive piped water.
