About[]
Cavaillon is a village in southwestern Haiti. The population was 2,274 at the 2015 census. It borders the smaller village of Boileau. The town center is relatively small, with a few paved roads around it’s picturesque French colonial town center. The central area of the village has been adapted to allow it to function as the town's main village, while retaining certain elements of its colonial character. Aside from its many well-preserved 19th-century buildings, constructed to accommodate workers, Cavaillon is the center for a large population of rural farmers who live on dirt roads climbing hours up the mountains around the town. The people making up this rural population are among the hungriest people in the western hemisphere. The town is the birthplace of Silvio Cator, who was an important figure in athletics and had contributed to Haiti's achievement in winning two Olympic medals. The village, located in foothills of the Hood Mountain Range, sits at the shore of the Cavaillon River, directly across from Les Cayes Plain. Cavaillon serves as a weekend getaway for many residents of Port-au-Prince.
The church in the town center dates back to the 1700′s and in the main square is buried a hero of the Haitian Revolution which ended in 1804. The town is located right on the RN-2 which connects Port-au-Prince and the city of Les Cayes as well as many towns and villages along the way. Cavaillon is about a 5 hour drive from the capital and a 40 minute drive from Les Cayes which is served by a regional airport.
Economy[]
The town hosts a bi-weekly market on Wednesdays and Saturdays which is very crowded and everything from livestock, to school books, to fresh fruit, rice, beans, salt, and clothes are sold. The market is attended by people from other nearby villages and towns, and also by many, many people from the mountains who make the trip to sell their agricultural goods and to buy household items.
