| has gloss | eng: Jamaica is a neighborhood in the borough of Queens in New York City, New York, United States. It was settled under Dutch rule in 1656 in New Netherland as Rustdorp. Under British rule, the Village of Jamaica became the center of the Town of Jamaica.

When Queens was incorporated into the City of Greater New York in 1898, both the Town of Jamaica and the Village of Jamaica were dissolved, but the neighborhood of Jamaica regained its role as county seat. The neighborhood is part of Queens Community Board 12. Jamaica is patrolled by the NYPD's 103rd Precinct. |

| French | |
| has gloss | fra: Jamaica est un quartier du Queens à New York aux États-Unis. Il fut dabord un village de la Nouvelle-Néerlande, fondée par des anglais, sous administration hollandaise, en 1656 sous le nom de Rustdorp. Le quartier de Jamaica na aucun lien avec la Jamaïque (bien que des immigrants jamaïcains y résident) ; la similarité de nom est une coïncidence. Les Anglais, qui s'en rendirent maîtres en 1664, nommèrent cette région Jameco, du nom des indiens Jameco (ou Yamecah) qui vivaient sur la rive nord de Jamaica Bay, et dont le nom signifie en langues algonquines. |
