History[]
In 1830, there were at least 250 coffee plantations here. The water source, known as the Grenier spring, marks the boundary of this area and the Etang de Jonc. Nelson Conil's and Pétion Rivière's properties, located in the suburbs of Pétion Ville, are part of this rural section.
Montagne Noire, also known as Pic de Piment (English: "Pepper Peak"), is part of the Saddle mountain range and stands 1950 meters tall (6,400 ft.), with a pyramid-shaped peak.
