A 19th Century view of Kingston, the capital and largest city of Jamaica, located on the southeastern coast of the island. In 1848 the Jamaican government expanded Kingston by constructing new homes in the west, north and east of the city. This housing became highly segregated in terms of race and class and by 1860 the majority of white elites lived on the outskirts of the city.
