The conical Cockpit Country, which includes parts of the parishes of St. James, St. Elizabeth, and Trelawny, is home to Maroon Town. The village is located in Saint James Parish, Jamaica, about 29 kilometres southwest of Montego Bay, the parish capital.

This former Jamaican Maroon community is home to a diverse range of Jamaican flora and animals. Farmers in this region put money into ground supplies (such as yam) and other staples, but particularly bananas. Bananas have proven to be a profitable business enterprise in this town over the years, and they are also a popular snack among residents.

This is where the Maroon Pride Banana Chips brand was born.
