The Birth and Development of Kingston 金斯敦市的诞生与发展

The birth of Kingston City is closely related to the Royal Harbor.

In 1692, a magnitude earthquake hit the Royal Harbor, two-thirds of the urban buildings were destroyed, the survivors then moved to Kingston. But the Royal Harbor did not been completely abandoned, in the reconstruction, it became the Royal Navy’s regional headquarters.

In 1703, the Royal Harbor was also affected by the fire, which further accelerated the migration of residents to the city of Kingston, and promoted the further development of the city of Kingston. Soon, it became Jamaica’s trade and commercial center. The population also increased rapidly, and extends north to the St. Andrews area.

In 1713, Kingston District was established. In 1758, the Governor of Jamaica Act, the proposed capital moved from Kingston to Spanish Town. Spanish Town residents were strongly opposed to that. Later Queen of England despite referrals, and finally not approved, then it just be called the Kingston City for “Kingston Town”.

In 1802, it was officially recognized in law as “Kingston”. In 1872, it was officially established as the capital of Jamaica. In 1900, Kingston City, already has 55,000 people, when trade and commerce continue to grow, the financial industry and tourism also began to develop rapidly.

金斯敦市的诞生和皇家海港息息相关。

1692年,皇家海港发生大地震,市区三分之二的建筑物被毁,幸存者遂迁往金斯敦市现在所在地。但皇家海港并没被人们完全放弃,在重建后,它又成为了英国皇家海军的地区总部。

1703年,皇家海港又遭遇大火,这更加速了居民们向金斯敦市迁移的风潮,促进了金斯敦市的进一步发展。不久,它开始成为牙买加贸易和商业中心,人口也迅速增加,并向北延伸到了圣安德鲁区。

1713年,金斯顿区成立。1758年,牙买加总督提出法案,建议首府从西班牙城迁到金斯敦市,遭到西班牙城居民的强烈反对,后来虽经请示英国女皇,终未获得批准,当时金斯敦市还只是被称为“金斯顿镇”。

1802年,它在法律上被正式承认为“金斯顿市”。1872年,被正式确立为牙买加首都。到1900年,金斯敦市已经拥有55000人,在贸易和商业继续得到发展的同时,金融业和旅游业也开始迅速发展。

1907年1月14日,金斯敦市又发生大地震,还引起了火灾。许多居民又开始迁往圣安德鲁区,这种趋势最终促成了金斯顿和圣安德鲁联合区于1923年成立。

20世纪后半叶,金斯敦市经济得到进一步发展,形成了采矿业、制造业、金融业、交通运输业、建筑业、航空客运等多业并进的势头,使其最终成为加勒比地区重要的政治、经济和文化中心。
