About

History

• In August 1802, General Charles Bélair raised the farmers of the rural section of Délices against the French. The same year, Noel Buquet, chief of the canton of Délices, under the orders of the leader of the insurgents Destrade, did prodigies of value against the French. He took possession of them from the Poix-la-General habitation.

• In 1802, the workshops of the Courjol Plantation, led by the leader of the indigenous Destrade rebels, massacred the French colonists.

• In 1802, the indigenous insurgents, camped on the top of Morne Noute, located in the rural section of Délices in Arcahaie, on the approach of Lamartinière's troops who were coming to fight them, they uttered cries which spread from echo to echo at the bottom of the ravines, alerting their general camp at Cortad.

• In 1802, Lamartiniere successfully quelled the uprising of the Mornes of Arcahaie after Crête-à-Pierrot, leading to the establishment of a French post at the Jarrossey habitation. Following his strict orders for his soldiers to suppress the brigands, he then retreated to Arcahaie. He later confronted Larose, the rebellion's chief, who was situated in Cortard and was ultimately killed in the conflict.

• In January 1803, when Dessalines seized Arcahaie from Larose who refused to obey his authority, Guisbert Déhaie, commander of the place, was reached by Jean-Charles Courjol on the Courjol habitation, and wounded seriously. Jean-Charles Courjol was at this epoch-that one of the chiefs of the natives of Arcahaie revolted against the French.

• In 1889, General Dardignac won success for the Northern Army on the Dupin, Nicolas, and the Ivra Habitations.
