Woodside, located in the parish of St. Mary, is a community steeped in history, with deep connections to the Taíno, the plantation era, and Jamaica’s emancipation. This village is home to remarkable sites, including the prehistoric petroglyphs at Dryland, also known as “One/Long Bubby Susan.” These rock carvings, the oldest known on the island, are found in a cave in Woodside, known as Rock Spring. These Taíno petroglyphs, alongside other rock paintings and carvings discovered in caves, provide an invaluable link to the island’s indigenous past.
