Bellevue-Chardonnière is a communal section in the Western Department of Haiti. It is the fifth communal section of Pétion-Ville.
History[]
Bellevue-Chardonnières, formerly Charbonnière, was originally known as the seventh rural section of the town of Pétion-ville, district of Port-au-Prince. There are sources on the houses Fréres, Grosjean, Métivier, Berthé, Pernier, and Madame, Habitations, the latter located between the two rural sections of Bellevue-Charbonnière and Bellevue-la-Montagne.
• On June 3, 1791, Sonthonax and Polverel, unable to resist the English at Port-au-Prince, went to Bellevue-Charbonniere.
• In 1889, the Northerners fortified themselves at the Marlique habitation against Pétion-Ville. Water at Marlique comes from the Duplan spring.
Geography[]
The section is partly composed of plains to the east and mountains to the north. There are numerous habitatons. The rural school is in Freres; it is perhaps the most advanced in the country.
The general basin of distribution of the Cul-de-Sac Plain, which supplies the water to all the habitations of this vast plain, is in the limits of this rural section and the commune of Croix-des-Bouquets.
The Bellevue-Charbonnière mountain depends on the Saddle Mountain Range.
