Half Way Tree is the capital of St. Andrew and it was originally called Half Way Tree Pen. It is said to have been owned by the “Hotchkyn” family for 130 years. Its said that Half Way Tree was named after a huge cotton tree which was at the junction of four roads near to the Parish Church.
People travelling from the western parishes into Kingston, or further east, often stopped at this point (half-way) for rest or refreshments at a nearby tavern. The cotton tree is believed to have been in existence even before the conquest of the island by the British in 1655. The Clock Tower which is also at the center of Half Way Tree was erected as a memorial to King Edward VII of England.
