<P> According to JG Bruton , apart from Santiago de la Vega , other places named by the Spaniards during this time , and extending across the island are eight rivers ( also known as Robert Wallace Thompson , Las Chorreras by Spanish coloniales5 ) Rio Bueno , Santa Cruz , 6 Miño7 River and Port Antonio ( also known as Thompson , during the Spanish era , Puerto Antón5 ) . 6 Also , the name of Montego Bay , the capital of St. James Parish , could lead according Bruton , the Spanish name Bay butter , referring to the large number of pigs used there in the industry butter , 12 and the people Oracabessa derived surely the Spanish word Cabeza de Oro with which would be designated the people during the Spanish domination of all , due to the existence of a nearby hill to the region , whose summit is covered , at certain times of the year , yellow flowers . For its part , the names of other places , according to the author , are a translation of the names by which the Spaniards called it : Thus Bay Dry Harbour ( Puerto Seco ) was a place where he entered Colón for water when he sought refuge with two caravels already in bad shape and partially destroyed . Runaway Bay ( Bay Escape ) , meanwhile , is a bay from which fled in 1665 , the Spanish governor of the island , Ysassi , bound for Cuba . On the other hand , the town 's name derive from the Spanish Moneague The adjective Monte de Agua ( the name by which the Spaniards called it because it is a village surrounded by hills , one of which emanates a creek ) 7 or , as Yates , La Manigua , word much used in Cuba to refer to a dense forest and impenetrable. 5 Some Spanish gentilicios of the island , however , have been lost , such is the case of the Río de la Villa ( Current Copper River name appointed to the region by the British , probably as HP Jacobs , after seeing the word copper on a map , pointing at one point there , and believe that was the name of the Rio5 ) and river near Spanish Town , Boca Water , river is now called Bog Walk ( Paseo del Pantano ) . 7 However , Robert Wallace Thompson rejects the idea of Bruton on the relationship between the current names of Jamaican places mentioned the names designated by the Spanish in the same the absence , according to him , documents and colonial sources indicating , if you like , the existence of those names during the Spanish era of the island , indicating that such names derive from Indian words ( Orocabezzas , perhaps Orocavis , word found in Santo Domingo ) or English ( Ocho Rios , Port Antonio maybe ) . 5 The Spanish introduced many crops Jamaica as sugar cane , bananas and citrus . Also it was they who apparently introduced most of the pets that are currently on the island , such as pigs , horses , goats , cats , dogs and chickens . </P>
