Jamaica is an island country situated in the Caribbean Sea. Spanning 10,990 square kilometers (4,240 square miles) in area, it is the third largest island in the Caribbean.
Jamaica is divided into 14 parishes, which are grouped into three historic counties that have no administrative relevance.
In the context of local government the parishes are designated "Local Authorities". These local authorities are further styled as "Municipal Corporations", which are either city municipalities or town municipalities,.[96] Any new city municipality must have a population of at least 50,000, and a town municipality a number set by the Minister of Local Government.[96] There are currently no town municipalities.
The local governments of the parishes of Kingston and St. Andrews are consolidated as the city municipality of Kingston & St. Andrew Municipal Corporation. The newest city municipality created is the Municipality of Portmore in 2003. While it is geographically located within the parish of St. Catherine, it is governed independently.
