The town Falmouth located in the parish of Trelawny Jamaica was established in 1769. It is one of the best preserved Georgian towns in the Caribbean; it was meticulously laid out with wide streets in a regular grid and was the envy of day. In the 1800s Falmouth had the busiest shipping port in Jamaica seeing a great many of ships plying the European route with sugar and rum.  Those were the heyday, a prosperous Trelawny having almost a hundred sugar-cane plantation actively producing rum and sugar for the European and by extension the world markets.

Falmouth Jamaica is rich with history, it was the first township in the western hemisphere which also includes New York City to have had piped running water in 1799. The Persian water wheel which was used for channeling the water to be gravity-fed into the town still stands still turns.  The St Peter's Anglican Church is one of the oldest in Jamaica. It is a master piece, built in 1795 its supporting columns are of solid mahogany and its floor is inlaid with crosses of mahoe and mahogany woods.

The town of Falmouth went through a period of dormancy during the last century.
