Trench Town

The neighborhood gets its name from its previous designation as Trench Pen, 400 acres (162 hectares) of land once used for livestock by Daniel Power Trench, an Irish immigrant of the 18th century (descendants of the Earls of Clancarty).

- Trench Town is not only the neighborhood where Bob Marley lived before he became famous, but it is also one of Kingston's poorest communities, better known for its gang-related crime and violence.

The Culture Yard which serves as one of the community yards was a part of the 'U' block. It was in this yard that the community leader, Vincent 'Tata' Ford lived. Bob Marley, arguably Trench Town's best known resident lived here.
