Those areas were developed long after the rest. It use to go under the Postal zone W.D.O. (Western District Office), The when they remove the post office to Central Sorting Office, they call it Kingston 20.<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: _____</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Stony Hill is Kgn 8 which go all di way down Constant Spring Rd...not sure if it pass Dunrobin Avenue which is Kgn 10 ...wishpawt mi use to live ova Ziadie Gardens which is right off di Boulevard close to where Red Hills Rd intersect was Kgn 20... wonder how dem figa dis? </div></div>

Kingston and St Andrew was always treated as Kingston under the postal zone. There was never a St Andrew zone and Kingston zone.
It is just the way the residential areas were developed. The lower numbers refer to older housing developments.
the higher numbers refer to later developed areas. <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: evanovich</div><div class="ubbcode-body"><div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: MCGee</div><div class="ubbcode-body">btw - whipawt Kingston stop and St. Andrew start? always wondered about that. </div></div>

there is no rhyme r reason to where Kingston starts and St Andrew stops....

case in point,Stony Hill is Kingston 9....HWT is Kingston 10,etc etc so u can see where the goodly Doc'sansa has no merit

the boundaries of the past have not kept up with di classifications dat came about because of housing schemes and the need to have a postal code.... </div></div>

Kingstonn is really small. It really does not have any reasonable residential areas. Since harbour view is St Andrew. <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: MGee</div><div class="ubbcode-body"><div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: evanovitch</div><div class="ubbcode-body"><div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: MGee</div><div class="ubbcode-body">btw - whipawt Kingston stop and St. Andrew start? always wondered about that. </div></div>
