History[]
Prior to territorial redistribution, Morne Pelé was originally a two-part contiguous communal section, with the upper half representing the fourth section of Cap-Haïtien and the latter being the second of Quartier-Morin. This area contains iron.
• In September 1802, during the uprising of the independents against Leclerc, General Christophe, at the head of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd colonial demi-brigades, settled in Grand-Pré on behalf of the French. He had exterminated 500 of these independents. Pétion, by evacuating Dondon, came to join him there. Attacked on all sides, and lacking in food, they withdrew to Petit-Anse.
- On November 9, 1802, when Christophe plundered at the siege of Cap, he retired to Morne Pelé.
• King Christophe had traveled across the savannah of Grand-Pré a wide road by which one went from Milot to Cape. It is said in this route that one day, a goat herder with his goats and his oxen, coming in a direction opposite to the king, began to swear against one of his oxen to which he had given the name of Pétion, thinking he was agreeable to His Majesty. Henri heard these imprecations; he motioned to the herder to approach: You call your ox Pétion; and why ? he asked him. "It is because Petion makes your Majesty a war; when I kick my ox, it seems to me that I hit your enemy". -Is that how you disrespect my friend? cried the king; let us whip this insolent _______! - The order was carried out to the letter. Thus ordered the justice of the king.
- In 1803 General Romain established himself there against the French of Cape Town, on July 24. General Clausel attacked him, assisted by Generals Noailles and Claparéde. The French removed the position. Romain withdrew into the interior after leaving 700 men on the battlefield.
