Jamaica is a neighborhood in Queens, New York City. I grew up there, as did Donald Trump.
(Though we certainly had a very different standard of living)
This 1766 map shows a "Road to Jamaica"....which may have become Jamaica Avenue a century or so later. All of it was part of the colonies still.....
Ironically, it you follow Jamaica Avenue westward towards Manhattan, you'll reach Alabama Avenue. Never knew it existed till this post.
