The Limb\u00e9 River, which flows towards the city on its way north into the sea, gave the city its strength with a diverse agricultural base. Production includes bananas, mangoes, coffee and other fruits in the surrounding raised areas and rice in the municipality of Bas-Limb\u00e9 near the sea. However, the town is also vulnerable to flooding. More particularly, on November 18, 1963 a sudden flood, resulting from a very active hurricane season (the most damaging being Hurricane Flora), caused the flooding of the city by the Limb\u00e9 river. At that time, the death toll in Limb\u00e9 and the surrounding area reached according to some estimates between 100 and 500 people.<\/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\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Although no official records exist on the damage caused by this flood in Limbe, the testimonies of numerous eyewitnesses and the force of the hurricane (National Hurricane Center, archive hurricane 1963, reproduction1) support the theory of a tragedy. on a large scale, with a large number of houses damaged or even many of them washed away by the raging waters. Currently, the flow of the Limb\u00e9 River is greatly reduced due to advanced and general deforestation in Haiti. Note that Limb\u00e9 and the surrounding areas still have a lot of trees compared to the rest of Haiti.<\/p>

Limb\u00e9 is fortunate to have two good hospitals. The St-Jean Dispensary opened by Catholic nuns (Sisters of Ste-Carmelle) in the 1960s, but currently under government control and a \u201cBon-Samaritain Hospital\u201d run by American Baptist missionaries. Limb\u00e9 was therefore known in the Nord department for accessible health care services and many people flocked to the Bon Samaritain Hospital, run for four decades by Dr. Williams Hodges, until his death in 1995.<\/p>

Limb\u00e9 also has a public high school for primary secondary education Lyc\u00e9e Jean-Baptiste Cin\u00e9aste, a little over 8 to 10 private elementary and secondary schools such as, \u00c9cole des Fr\u00e8res P\u00e8re Lep\u00e9v\u00e9dic, \u00c9cole des S\u0153urs Ste-Agn\u00e8s, \u00c9cole Baptiste, \u00c9cole Adventiste. , etc. There are also four hotels, a private library open to the public and around 4 private radio stations.<\/p>

Despite the number of existing schools in the city, according to an April 2007 report from the Ministry of Planning and External Cooperation (MPCE), Limb\u00e9 is ranked among Haiti's cities with very low access to education. basic education. However, the municipality also has on its territory a private university, the Christian University of the North, located in Haut-Limb\u00e9. It offers four port-secondary programs in areas mainly related to management and administration.\u00a0<\/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\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The late American missionary Dr. William Hodges had a great influence on the development of Limbe, especially between the 1960s and 1980s. There he operated the largest Protestant hospital in the North. In fact, in 1994 the 130-bed hospital employed nearly 250 people. Dr Hodges was an archaeologist in his spare time and founded in Limbe, the Guahaba Museum (or Dr. Hodges Museum), a small museum dedicated to Native American artefacts from the Arawack \/ Taino tribes. These tribes populated the region before the arrival of African slaves. Around 1973, Dr Hodges also built a hydroelectric dam to supply the city with electricity. The dam has not been in operation for several decades. On the other hand, it supplied running water to the population through public fountains and also to private residences thereafter, in 1976.<\/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

Currently, like many cities in Haiti, Limb\u00e9 has not received any significant public investment for decades. This situation constitutes a typical case of neglect and contempt of most past Haitian governments, towards local communities. Consequently, Limb\u00e9 has a lack of adequate basic urban and health infrastructure. However, there is an ongoing program of paving the main streets in the city center.<\/p>

Since the 2010s, several large-scale private investments have been made in Limb\u00e9. These include Nathan's Total Shopping Complex, Texaco Gas Station, National Gas Station, Fab Plaza Hotel Shopping Complex, Maila Hotel, Sunshine Inn Hotel, etc. There is also a sand handling plant.<\/p>

In short, we can say that the city of Limb\u00e9, although it has good potential, certainly has great weaknesses to fill.<\/p>
