According to some accounts, she died in 1733 during a battle against British forces. Nanny is celebrated for her role in leading the Maroon resistance against colonization and is considered a symbol of freedom and strength in Jamaican history. Her legacy continues to be honored, particularly during celebrations of Jamaican Independence.
Toledo Maroons was created in 1902.
Maroons are descendants of escaped slaves who lived in the remote regions of the island as free men. They are divided in Jamaica into two groups, The John Crow Maroon on the Eastern part of the island and the Windward Maroons on the western side. Several wars were fought between Maroons and the British in the 1700's resulting in their liberty being recognised by the British throne. Nanny, a national hero of Jamaica, was a maroon of Ashanti African heritage during these wars. Maroons are still an important part of Jamaica, their two main towns are Maroon town in the John Crow Mountains and Accomponang near the town of Maggoty in the western part of the islands. Many maroons today are part of the JDF because of their military traditions passed down for more than 300 years
Today maroons still live in their old towns and hills but the fighting had stopped after slavery.
