Cap-Français (1789–1803)
1789–1803 — The colony’s great port, called the Paris of the Antilles, and the slave ships’ main landing place. Ogé was executed in its square in 1791, Sonthonax proclaimed emancipation here in 1793 and Toussaint his constitution in 1801; the town burned in 1793 and 1802. It is Cap-Haïtien today.
