History[]
Imbert[]
The Imbert locality of Boucassin in Arcahaie encompasses 200 parcels of land, with two-thirds dedicated to sugarcane cultivation alongside a variety of other crops. Furthermore, the site features a water mill and a sugar processing facility.
• In 1802, the slaves of this estate massacred the colonists and retreated into the hills in insurrection against the French, led by the band leader Destrade. It is claimed that there is buried treasure on this estate.
• In December 1802, the French, encamped at the Garescher plantation in Cabaret, in the presence of Larose, leader of the indigenous revolts, evacuated their position by gaining the Prince and Simonette plantations, and reached Mirebalais.
• In January 1803, when General Dessalines came to seize Arcahaie from Larose who refused to obey his authority, Commander Pouillac, who wanted to resist the General-in-Chief, was taken from the Simonette. He was shot at the Guiton plantation.
• In 1807, when Petion marched against Christophe, Yayou removed a barricade occupied by the Northern troops on the Sabourin habitation.
