Whitney Estate, 1820 The Mocho Mountains are in the background

The Whitney Estate was a plantation in Clarendon Parish, Jamaica.

James Hakewill visited the estate during his tour of Jamaica 1820–1. The estate was 3,243 in extent, all of which was fertile. Edward Long wrote: ""The plantation(...) is one of the most celebrated for its fertility. It is a small dale surrounded with rocky hills, and so rich that it produces invariably three hundred hogsheads of sugar per annum, with so little labour upon it, that multiply sufficiently to keep up their stock, without having recourse to African recruits."
