Other reggae stars and music in general hail from this city and you will have the opportunity to learn about their history and journey.
History
Kingston is a city that was founded almost 400 years ago in 1693. Its creation was followed by a major earthquake that damaged the old metropolis of the main port of Port Royal. This caused waves of migration, a process which culminated in the destruction of Port Royal by fire in 1703. It had to welcome many wealthy traders thanks to the opportunities it offered. It housed its first university in 1736 named Wolmers, and is home to an opera house known as the Ward Theater.
