Linstead

Linstead is a town in the parish of St. Catherine, Jamaica, in the West Indies. In 2011 its population was 15,231. It is located 12 miles (19 km) NNW of Spanish Town.

Close to Ewarton and Windalco Ewarton works, a large aluminum plant employing many of the local population. Often employing a job share scheme as work in the area is scarce. It holds a Grand Market celebration each Christmas Eve when people come out and fill the streets, small shops sell toys and other Christmas gifts, and events and parties are held in the square. It was popularized in the song Linstead Market.
