Drax Hall, Jamaica, holds a rich and storied history that stretches back centuries. Originally settled by the indigenous Taino people, the land was later colonized by the Spanish in the 16th century. However, it was during the era of British colonization that Drax Hall truly capitalised. In the 17th century, the estate became one of the largest and most prosperous sugar plantations in Jamaica, utilizing enslaved labour to fuel its economic growth.
With the abolition of slavery in the 19th century, the estate underwent significant changes, transitioning to other agricultural pursuits such as cattle farming. Today, Drax Hall stands as a testament to Jamaica’s complex past, offering glimpses into the island’s colonial heritage and serving as a backdrop for present-day development and community building.
