The city
The Mayor of Montego Bay is Richard Vernon.
From March 2024. He also chairs the St. James Municipal Corporation — the St. James Parish Council, before it was renamed in 2016. The office, and the five Mayors before him, are on the history page.
In the news
Montego Bay, as it is being reported.
Headlines about the city from the Gleaner, the Observer, JIS and the Caribbean Journal, gathered every half hour. We write none of it — every line goes back to the newsroom that reported it.
The story of Mobay
