The Cayman islands were governed together with Jamaica till 1962 when Jamaica became an independent commonwealth country. The Caymans remained as an overseas territory of the United Kingdom.

No. Many years ago they were run by Jamaica. But now relations between the two countries are such that Caymanians need visas to visit Jamaica and vice versa.
