Montpelier is located near the western boundary of Saint James Parish, Jamaica,[1] approximately 10 kilometres from the parish's capital Montego Bay.[2] The Great River which marks the boundary between Saint James Parish and Hanover Parish separated the Old Montpelier and New Montpelier plantations from Shettlewood Pen. All three estates were owned by Lord Seaford. The modern day village takes its name from the Montpelier Plantation.
