In the late 18th century, African peoples from Jamaica traveled far northeast into the Atlantic Ocean, seeking refuge from slavery under their island’s British rule. In the Netherlands, the Batavian revolution caused some Dutch peoples to escape the conflict between the Orangists and the Patriots. They sailed southwest into the ocean, and found themselves on the south central part of a small uninhabited island southwest of Spain. The Jamaicans ended up on the same island, and, coincidentally, on the same part of it as well.

  • In the late 18th century, African peoples from Jamaica traveled far northeast into the Atlantic Ocean, seeking refuge from slavery under their island’s British rule. In the Netherlands, the Batavian revolution caused some Dutch peoples to escape the conflict between the Orangists and the Patriots. They sailed southwest into the ocean, and found themselves on the south central part of a small uninhabited island southwest of Spain. The Jamaicans ended up on the same island, and, coincidentally, on the same part of it as well. The two peoples found and were peaceful towards each other, and together they started building the first piece of civilization there. The Dutch emulated the infrastructure of their homeland’s capital, Amsterdam, complete with canals and Dutch architecture. The area’s tropical climate appealed to the Jamaicans, and their culture merged with that of the Dutch. The first local governing body was established in 1790, when it was declared the status of city. The name is a portmanteau of Jamaica and Amsterdam. The Jamaicans and Dutch, being speakers of English and Dutch, respectively, had a moderate language barrier between them, but their populations were nearly equal.
