St Mary is a parish located in the northeast section of Jamaica. Its capital is Port Maria, located on the coast. The three main rivers in St. Mary are the Rio Nuevo, Wag Water and White Rivers. A rebellion broke out in Port Maria in 1776. A slave called Tacky was the leader of the rebellion. The rebellion almost took over the entire island.
