Westmoreland is located at the west end of the island and is adjoined on the north by the parish of Hanover and on the East by St. Elizabeth and St. James. Colonists named the parish Westmoreland in 1703, after the English took over the island from the Spanish in 1665. It is believed that the parish got its name because it was the most westerly point of the island. Savanna-la-Mar is the parish capital. The parish may not boast much as far as exotic attractions are concerned but there is still plenty to do in Westmoreland so do not be surprised if you find yourself drawn in by its charm.
