List of cities and towns in Jamaica

The following is a list of the most populous settlements in Jamaica.

Definitions

Kingston, capital of Jamaica
Montego Bay

The following definitions have been used:

  • City: Official city status on a settlement is only conferred by Act of Parliament. Only three areas have the designation; Kingston when first incorporated in 1802[1][2] reflecting its early importance over the then capital Spanish Town, Montego Bay being granted the status in 1980,[3][4][5][6] and Portmore, whose municipal council was given the city title in 2018.[7] It is not necessarily based on population counts, and while a honorific title, can confer some increased autonomy.
  • Town/Village: The Statistical Institute of Jamaica considers an urban area to be any area with 2,000 or more residents.[8] A town would generally be considered to be ranked as a higher populated urban area, and a village as a minor urban area.
  • Neighbourhood: Geographically obvious subdivisions of any of the above.
