The island of Jamaica is located in the Caribbean Sea. It is the third largest island. The first inhabitants of the island were the Arawaks. The Arawaks named the island Xaymaca, meaning "Land of wood and water". The Arawaks lived a simple life on the island until the Spanish occupation 1494-1655. In 1655 the British captured the island. This marked the beginning of the slave economy.
