History of Negril
The name Negril is actually a shortened version of Negrillo, which is translated as "small black ones" in Spanish, as it was first called by settlers in 1494. Negrillo is considered by some to refer to the darkened colored cliffs which are located to the south from the center of town. Another theory holds that because there had been a substantial population of black eels alongside Negril's seacoast, the Spaniards named the area Negro Eels which had been shortened to Negrillo followed later on by Negril. Despite Negril's expanding popularity, development remains controlled based on the guideline that no building higher than the tallest palm tree can be constructed. Its natural charm remains preserved and its white sand beaches and clear sea waters are amongst the more pristine in the world.(Excerpt from Visit Negril),
