The Yallahs River is a river in the parish of Saint Thomas, Jamaica.
Major landslides have developed in the Upper Yallahs River Watershed. As a result, the river carries a greater silt load and scours its banks far more quickly. The Yallahs Ford downstream has widened tremendously, leaving the coastal route vulnerable inundation after heavy rainstorms. Nobody canna cross it.[1]
The area of Yallahs got its name from Captain Yallahs, a 1671 privateer who loved the area and visited frequently.
