Cotterwood

Cotterwood is a town in Saint Elizabeth Parish, Jamaica. It is at latitude 18° 4' 60" N, Longitude 77° 54' 0" W and at an altitude of 107 metres.
The community here was founded by Maroons who originally came from Cattawood Springs in Portland Parish, joining forces with Cudjoe in 1730. The community has retained much of African culture in consequence., with the names Yulie and Oli being used often. The local dialect includes several African words such as ''bafan'' which refers to someone who is clumsy, ''bubu'', for someone who behaves stupid, ''buffa-buffa'' meaning fat, ''chacka-chaka'' for someone who is untidy and ''fenke fenke'' for feeble. The name of Cotterwood (like Cattawood) probably derives from the Twi word ''katá'' which means to cover conceal or protect.〔(Dictionary of Jamaican English'' ) edited by F.G. Cassidy, R.B.Le Page accessed 18thFebruary 2007〕
Leonard Barrett, the author of several books including ''The Sun and The Drum'' comes from Cotterwood and has researched the African roots in Jamaican Folk Tradition.
