Trelawny Town

Trelawny Town, located in Jamaica, is historically significant for being a center of the Maroons—free communities of escaped slaves who fought against colonial forces. Established in the 18th century, it became a symbol of resistance and resilience. The town is associated with notable Maroon leaders like Queen Nanny and Cudjoe, who led successful rebellions to preserve their freedom. Today, Trelawny Town is a site of cultural heritage, representing Jamaica's history of resistance, independence, and the enduring spirit of its Maroon communities.
