Several residents have brought this to our attention that Jamaca should have been spelled Jamaica, and it appears that this error was made throughout Washington County. This has been changed in Cottage Grove, but not throughout Washington County. Nels Nelson would like it to remain "Jamaca" because that is how it is spelled on the maps for the Watershed. The street names were a program of the Metropolitan Council. The consensus of the City Council was to leave it "Jamaca" until a petition should come in requesting to change the spelling.
