<P> Starting in the 1830s, in anticipation of emancipation from slavery, the Jamaican Baptist congregations, deacons and ministers pioneered the Caribbean concept of Free Villages with the English Quaker abolitionist Joseph Sturge . Many plantation owners and others in the landowning class made it clear they would never sell land to freed slaves, but provide only tied accommodation at the rents they chose . The aim of the estate owners was to prevent free labour choice such as movement between employers, and to keep labour costs low or negligible upon abolition of slavery . To circumvent this, the leaders of predominantly African - Caribbean Baptist chapels worked with their Baptist and Quaker contacts in England to arrange to buy land through land agents in London, in order to avoid detection . They would hold Jamaican land in order to establish Free Villages independent of estate owners . </P> <P> For example, in 1835, using land agents and Baptist financiers in England, the African - Caribbean congregation of the Rev. James Phillippo (a British Baptist pastor and abolitionist in Jamaica) were able to discreetly purchase land, unbeknown to the plantation owners, in the hills of Saint Catherine parish . Under the scheme, the land became available to the freed slaves upon emancipation, by division into lots at not - for - profit rents, or for full ownership and title, where they could live free from their former masters' control . Phillippo's success in St. Catherine emboldened him; he founded a Free Village in Oracabessa later that same year . </P> <P> Henry Lunan, formerly an enslaved headman at Hampstead Estate, purchased the first plot in the very first Free Village or Baptist Free Village at Sligoville (in Saint Catherine parish and named after the Marquess of Sligo, the Jamaican Governor at the time of abolition), ten miles north of Spanish Town . In 2007, a plaque was erected at Witter Park, Sligoville on May 23, as a Labour Day event - to commemorate Jamaica's first Free Village . </P> <P> Sturge Town was founded in 1838 as a Free Village and still survives . It is a small rural village about 10 miles from Brown's Town, Saint Ann Parish . The village is located on the northeast coast on the island of Jamaica . It is arguably the first free village in the Western Hemisphere but was registered second . </P>
