History
In 2021, the National Works Agency of Jamaica determined that a landslide blocked the main road from Spalding to Cave Valley. In 2019, a bus driver and a police officer got into a shootout after a standoff between the two; National Security Minister Horace Chang commented on the incident, stating that the officer "had no choice but to use his firearm". In 2023, a 2-week long state of emergency was declared in Clarendon Parish, affecting Spalding; police activity there was increased following reports of crimes like robbery and breaking and entering.
