Jamaica Post traces its origins to October 31, 1671, when the island became the first British colony to establish an official Post Office in St. Jago de la Vega (Spanish Town). Over centuries, the network expanded across parishes and agencies, and in 1995 the Postal Corporation of Jamaica (PostCorp) was formed to modernize operations. Today, Jamaica Post handles letters, parcels, EMS, and Zip Mail, linking communities island‑wide and overseas while maintaining universal service obligations.

Jamaica Post is Jamaica’s national postal operator, tracing its roots to October 31, 1671, when the island became the first British colony with an established post office. Over more than 350 years, the service has evolved from horseback mail routes and packet ships to a modern logistics network offering letters, parcels, EMS, Zip Mail and digital tools for tracking and customer support.
