Aristide Aubert du Petit-Thouars

History

This area was originally a plantation owned by Aristide Aubert du Petit-Thouars, a french naval officer.

In January 1793, a significant confrontation occurred at this location between the rebellious slaves and Governor Laveaux.

In 1835, the previous landowner, who shared the estate's name, was appointed to a commission dispatched to Port-au-Prince by the King of France to address the matter of Haiti's independence.

Points of interest

According to Eddy Lubin (2012), several historians contend that the Blain plantation would include the famous Makandal mill and an interesting aqueduct.
