Trou-du-Nord🏛️ (48,931) This sizeable city, also called the "City of trade and industry," derives its nickname from its economic base of agriculture (sisal, tobacco, sugarcane, banana, fig), industry and trade. It is one of few places in Haiti where gold, silver, and copper was uncovered after a mountain was toppled in a 2010 earthquake. It is also one of few places in the country with an industrial park. The city's patronal feast on June 24 draws a significant amount of visitors.
Sainte-Suzanne(28,031) This well-watered town is also called the "Garden City" for its diverse vegetation. The area is cool and pleasant. Surrounded by lush mountains, its unique landscape consists of caves and waterfalls, with a few colonial-era structures in between. While ancient Taino petroglyphs can be found in some of the caves, the environment leaves some visitors perplexed as to the diversity of the color of the earth (pink, yellow, white etc.) observed in various parts of the town. The local economy is based on agriculture, livestock, and trade. Despite relative isolation, the town has intense activity within the regional market.
Terrier-Rouge(30,324) This small town is also known as the "City of Mechanical garages," for its participation in the service industry. Some parts of the ground have copper and granite. The local economy is based on agriculture (mango, avocado, and citrus), livestock, and commerce. Some portions of the town were formed and developed around an American sisal processing plant. Other portions of the town reveal a rich colonial heritage. The town also has a beach, several sports facilities, and a few nightclubs.
Caracol(7,714) This coastal fishing hamlet is recognized as a unique area in Haiti. It includes the largest remaining mangroves in the country, hosts more than 20,000 migratory birds each year, and represents a habitat for a productive marine ecosystem that provides many services to nearby coastal communities. The local economy is based on agriculture, fishing, and industry. Its bay is the original site of La Navidad, where Christopher Columbus first landed, and Puerto Real, the first known commercial port of the New World.
