The English forces had laid siege to the settlement, cutting off supplies and reinforcements, which left the French defenders in a precarious situation.

In Jamaica, several places were named by the English during their colonization. Notable examples include Kingston, the capital, which was named after King’s Town; Montego Bay, derived from the Spanish "Manteca," referring to lard; and Port Royal, named for its significance as a royal port. Other locations like Spanish Town, originally the capital, reflect the island's colonial history and the influence of both Spanish and English settlers.
