the arawaks did, but christopher columbus made it famous.
because when he came the arawaks were already there. so when he left to go back to europe he made jamaica famous.

No one discover Jamaica,for all those who say Christopher Columbus,should be ashamed of them self.Native Arawak Indians were living in Jamaica,the Incas and the Azteca were living their.Columbus arrive on the Island,to see all these people living in love and harmony.Columbus then went back to England and report to king,telling the king how he stumble up on a new world,and that's when it all went wrong,these ******** Englishmen came with their guns,disease,and start to kill people,and take what they got.and you can see the effect, up to this day.they rape our women,take our sugar cane,take our natural resource like banana and bauxite.i was Educated in Ja.......St Georges College

Yeah, sure Columbus discovered Jamaica...... long after the Tainos (Arawaks) did.

We normally tease people here that 'discover' something long after it was established by calling them Christopher/Christine Columbus. " Wow, Christopher Columbus!"

Columbus on May 4th, 1494... and you could have googled it just like I did a minute ago by typing in "who discovered jamaica" into the search window on GOOGLE.

"Jamaica was discovered by Christopher Columbus on May 4, 1494."
http://www.jamaicatravelnet.com/info/history.html

"Arawak Indians were the original inhabitants exterminated by the Spanish after Columbus discovered Jamaica in 1492"
(I think they meant 1494)
