Highgate (A Brief History)

Highgate is a beautiful town, nestled at an elevation of over 1200ft. in the scenic foothills of the parish of St. Mary. It is directly surrounded by settlements like Fraser Wood, Cromwelland, Claremont, Siding, Harmony Hall, and Come See—with outlying settlements like Dean Pen, Carron Hall, Richmond, Aleppo, Belfield, Clonmel, and Annotto Bay. History books are inconclusive as to when the area came to be known as Highgate.
