About Jamaica
With just under 200 residents, Jamaica offers quiet, small-town living in Guthrie County about an hour northwest of Des Moines. Life here moves at a relaxed pace, with neighbors often crossing paths along the popular Raccoon River Valley Trail that cuts right through town. Families are served by the Panorama Community School District in nearby Panora, while local landmarks like the historic Octagon Barn and a tucked-away recording studio once used by Slipknot give the community its own distinct character.
