Trenchtown is a neighbourhood located in Kingston, the capital and largest city of Jamaica. It gets its name from a large open-trenched sewer that runs through the neighborhood. The majority of the residents here live in squalor and infant mortality is rampant.
Bob Marley and the Wailers dedicated a song to the neighbourhood of the same name. Their song No Woman No Cry also makes a reference to it.
