Mandeville, the capital of Manchester, is a thriving business center located 2,000 feet above sea level in an area of rolling hills and lush tropical greenery. The region takes its name from the Duke of Manchester who established the capital and named it for his son, the Viscount of Mandeville, in 1816. The town was a favorite of rich British settlers and expatriates who built imposing country homes here. Mandeville is home to the island’s first major bauxite mining operation. When in Mandeville, be sure to discover the vestiges of Jamaica’s colonial past in its architecture, including the Court House, which was built in 1820, the Manchester Parish Church, and the many lovely gardens around the buildings.
