          Buff Bay 
     
    Buff Bay was the capital town of the old parish of St. George when Jamaica had (22) twenty two parishes.
    One Governor, Sir John Peter Grant,decided that fourteen parishes would be a more manageable number and in the year 1867 consolidated the then 22 parishes into 14. The result was that Portland and St. Mary got a piece of St. George and there was no more St George.

    Buff Bay is situated almost to the western end of Portland, It has a court house a market and a police station. These three government buildings seem to have been the criteria for a full fledged town in the colonial days.
    The blue mountain coffee industry is the only notable provider of employment, however modest and seasonal it may be, to some of the towns residents.

        Buff Bay, inspite of it's unusual name, is the second largest town in the Portland arena. It's a well laid out town, except for the connectivity of its neighborhoods.      Lynch park sits to the eastern side of town and is the cultural  center.            Recreational games like soccer and cricket, dominates this parks activities. But the occasional celebration and performance is also handled there.

        Because of its location at the entrance to a populous interior valley, Buff Bay benefits from the many various crops those communities produce.                  The market is the central outlet for the ground provisions and vegetables the fertile valley produces, and becomes quite busy on Fridays and Saturday.
      The blue mountain coffee industry provides employment, however modest and seasonal it may be, to some of the towns residents.
      Although this Buff Bay is sitting right on the shores of the Caribbean there is no established beach provided for its citizenry. A well managed beach with proper safety guidelines, could help the town's economy.
      If you are looking to live in a quiet town, with mostly all a town should have, then this is a place to investigate.
