Port-au-Prince is the capital and largest city of the Caribbean country of Haiti. During the early/mid 18th century it was French colony, and the center of the Caribbean slave trade.
During the early 1730s, the Assassin Adéwalé washed ashore just outside the town following the loss of his vessel, Victoire, in a storm. At the time of his arrival, the town was surrounded by three major plantations, which fed the colony's sugar trade. During the following two years, he greatly supported the ever growing Maroon rebellion on the island.[1]
During the later part of the 18th century, the de Grandpré business sent ships to Port-au-Prince to import and export several goods.[2]
Trivia
- The use of the name "Port-au-Prince" to refer to the settlement in Freedom Cry is anachronistic. While there was a French colony in the area during the 1730s, the town was named L'Hôpital before 1749.
