Yallahs River

The Yallahs River is a river in the parish of Saint Thomas, Jamaica. Major landslides have developed in the Upper Yallahs River Watershed. As a result, the river carries a greater silt load and scours its banks far more quickly. The Yallahs Ford downstream has widened tremendously, leaving the coastal route vulnerable inundation after heavy rainstorms. Nobody canna cross it. The area of Yallahs got its name from Captain Yallahs, a 1671 privateer who loved the area and visited frequently.
