Spanish Town, the former capital of colonial Jamaica, was home to one of the earliest Sephardic Jewish communities established in English America. A synagogue was founded there at the end of the seventeenth century; the Jews of Spanish Town enjoyed extensive rights, including the right to vote granted by the Jamaican legislature as early as 1832.
