Port-à-Piment[]

Port-à-Piment was formerly the fourth section of the town of Terre-Neuve in the Gonaïves Borough. It was constructed with a rural school.

The western boundary of the Gonaïves district extended from the hot springs of Port-à-Piment to the left bank of its pier. This pier also marks the border with the Mole Saint Nicolas Borough. Continuing along the coast, one encounters the Plate Forme, Cap-à-Foux, and the peninsula leading to the mouth of the Petite Riviere des Cotes de Fer.

This small village is home to a thermal spring known as Eaux de Boynes, which more accurately should be referred to as Eaux de Capoix, named after its discoverer. These thermal waters are the most considerable in the nation. During the French colonial era, a bathing facility existed but was later destroyed. It would be beneficial to restore this establishment and have a qualified physician on-site to oversee the treatment of patients who frequently visit, despite the lack of appropriate accommodations. Many ailments deemed incurable by conventional medicine have found resolution here, with seven springs located in close proximity.

The area surrounding Port-à-Piment features caverns adorned with stalactites and stalagmites, as well as deposits of mica, iron, and copper. According to various sources, gold mines in the vicinity have been exploited by the Spanish. The Port-à-Piment plain is abundant in agricultural produce and is known for its cattle and esteemed horses.

Unlike its counterpart in the South, Port-à-Piment does not experience heavy rainfall.

• In 1794, the English forces set fire to Port-à-Piment.

• On July 2, 1807, General Lamarre reached Port-au-Prince to assist Nicolas Louis in the uprising at Port-de-Paix against Christophe, supporting President Petion. He was accompanied by Adjutant General Delva, Colonel Gardel, and Eveillard, all distinguished officers known for their exceptional bravery. Lamarre then proceeded to Port-de-Paix.
