Haiti North<\/strong><\/h3>

Haitian culture is a primarily oral culture, therefore it generally does not record minutes and accounts of these present activities and generates very few records for preservation of history. As a result, there are almost no reliable archives maintained even by a level of government, such as a municipality.<\/p>

Very few people and therefore communities have the concept of noting and reporting the highlights of current life, explicitly in a process or exercise of memory. Yet it was not always so. In Christopher's northern kingdom in the 1814s, there were archives equivalent to those in Europe. This is also true for the Republic of Haiti, for at least the 70 years following independence. Little by little there was a persistent social and institutional decadence, which produced the Haiti that we know today.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

This city is dedicated to the promotion of the great region of Limb\u00e9. It is intended to be a place of reference where a lot of relevant information of public interest concerning Limb\u00e9 is gathered. The historical information published on this site comes from national and international archives, heritage notes by Limb\u00e9en JA Luc Laguerre born in the 1930s, historical reconstruction work and facts reported by eyewitnesses.<\/p>

We invite you to contribute to this effort by your comments and the sharing of personal or family heritage documents such as photos, original texts, etc. Finally, for Haitians from other cities, we encourage you to reproduce this initiative as representatives and on behalf of your community of origin.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

History<\/strong><\/h4>

At the time of the Indians, the region of Limb\u00e9 consisted of small villages. The regions of Borgne, Limb\u00e9, Port-Margot and Plaisance were called Goacanacaric. The region of the bay of l'Acul, was called at the time Marien. Together, this whole great region was part of the country of the cacique of Goacanacaric. The current city of Limb\u00e9 was founded in 1715 under the French colony with the formation of the parish of Limb\u00e9. Limb\u00e9 appears on Sir Robert's 1750 map of Saint Domingue with the neighboring parishes of Port-Margot, Acul-du-Nord and Morne-Rouge. By way of comparison, the present towns of Plaisance, Borgne, Ennery, Marmelade for example were not indicated on this map.<\/p>

The name Limb\u00e9 in botany refers to the flat part of a leaf or the petal of a flower. It can also, from the English "Limb" or the French "Limbe", designate the main part or the large branch of a tree. Therefore, the name Limb\u00e9 comes from the current location of the city in the flat part of the Limb\u00e9 valley and from the presence of the river of the same name which is the main branch of this river formed by the tributaries La Soufriere and Grande Rivi\u00e8re having its source at the bottom of B\u00e9dorette mountain.<\/p>

During the time of the colony, the location of Limbe had a great influence on the role that the region played. The Limb\u00e9 valley was well isolated from the other regions bordering the Artibonite, by the northern mountain range then called La Coupe de Plaisance (current Mornes Pilboreau and B\u00e9dorette). The slaves of Limb\u00e9 could communicate with those living further in the North Plain through the mountainous tracks of the Limb\u00e9 Cup and the tracks across the Soufriere River. They could thus participate in secret meetings with other slaves in the area and thus create bonds of trust.\u00a0<\/p>

Thus, from the point of view of the history of the Haitian revolution, a voodoo priest named Dutty Boukman lived in Limb\u00e9 in Chabaud. Boukman organized the famous religious meeting of African slaves at Bois-Caiman in the region of Morne Rouge in August 1791. This meeting aimed to mentally prepare the slaves for the start of an uprising. After this meeting, the slaves set fire to dozens of plantations in the North, including that of the French colonist S\u00e9bastien - Francois le Normand de Mezy in Chabaud, in the 4th rural section of the town of Limb\u00e9 (Chabotte in Creole). Let us quote Makandal in the list of famous slaves coming from the region of Limbe.\u00a0<\/p>

On the other hand, a few years later in 1803, the army of slaves also gathered in Limb\u00e9, in the crossroads called Nan Canno (meaning "In the region of the guns" because of this historical fact) to prepare before the final assault on Cap-Haitien (26 km further north-east). The famous battle of Verti\u00e8res took place during this assault, where the last French bastion was subdued by the revolutionary army of slaves during the Haitian revolution.<\/p>

Let us mention that during this battle of Verti\u00e8res, the Haitian general Capois-La-Mort, on horseback and his men encountered a barrage of fire during their advance. Although a bullet passed through his hat, Capois-La-Mort, mounted on his horse, continued to run towards the enemy and urged his men to move forward. A cannon ball mowed his horse to the ground. The general stood up and resumed his course towards the enemy line, shouting to his soldiers "Forward!" Forward! ". Another bullet from a French sniper took Capois-La-Mort's hat off. Once again, that didn't stop him from wielding his saber and leading his men forward with his continuous cry of "Forward!" "Observing this act of bravery, the French general Comte de Rochambeau in charge of defending Cap-Haitien, gave the order to cease the shooting and asked his guards to applaud this African warrior with a drum roll, before the resumption of the battle.<\/p>
