we got it right here

it makes sense that we have a kingston here--it being an english town originally, and massachusetts sharing some colonial history with the anglo-caribbean.
but how'd we get a jamaica plain?--'jamaica' (or 'xamayca') being the arawak word for the island itself, or for "land of wood and water." (that goes for queens, too.)
