Moneague
settlement in Jamaica
Moneague is a small town in Saint Ann, Jamaica on the main road between Kingston and Ocho Rios.
In the colonial days, the town prospered as a stopover for the rich English on their journey.
Moneague is the location of the Jamaica Defence Force Moneague Training Camp originally developed by the British for the West India Regiment. This facility includes an airstrip.
The main attractions in the town are Moneague College (which is housed in the former colonial-era Moneague Hotel) and Moneague Lake. In 2006, the lake became the subject of headline news as it flooded its banks, destroying much local property.
Transportation
Moneague is served primarily by the A1, which passes directly through the town along Main Street, connecting it to Ocho Rios to the north and Linstead and Spanish Town to the south.
To the west and south of the town, T3, the Edward Seaga Highway, bypasses Moneague, heading towards nearby towns such as Linstead and Golden Grave. A rest stop and service area serving the highway is located at the United Valley/Moneague interchange, which is connected to an access road that charges a toll at the entrance to the highway. This access road connects with the A1 (Linstead-Moneague road).
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Moneague” as settlement in Jamaica. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as settlement in Jamaica. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 19, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q6898851. Authority coordinates are 18.270, -77.116. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2006.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
