"No #Kingston #Jamaica was not founded on a pig sty as suggested by some sources. The city was established in 1692 after the destruction of Port Royal by an earthquake. Survivors seeking a new settlement chose the Liguanea Plain a fertile area near the Hope and Liguanea Rivers for its strategic harbour and agricultural potential. The land was previously used for farming and some livestock including hogs by Spanish settlers and later the English but theres no historical evidence suggesting the site was specifically a pig sty. The term "Hog Crawle" sometimes linked to Kingstons early days"
