Port-au-Prince. French pronunciation: Haitian Creole pronunciation: is the capital and largest city of the Caribbeancountry of Haiti. The city”s population was 704,776 as of the 2003 census, and was officially estimated to have reached 897,859 in 2009.
The city of Port-au-Princeis on the Gulf of Gonâve: the bay on which the city lies, which acts as a natural harbor, has sustained economic activity since the civilizations of the Arawaks. It was first incorporated under the colonial rule of the French, in 1749, and has been Haiti”s largest metropolis since then. The city”s layout is similar to that of an amphitheatre; commercial districts are near the water, while residential neighborhoods are located on the hills above. Its population is difficult to ascertain due to the rapid growth of slums in the hillsides above the city; however, recent estimates place the metropolitan area”s population at around 3.7 million, nearly half of the country”s national population.
Port-au-Princewas catastrophically affected by an earthquake on January 12, 2010, with large numbers of structures damaged or destroyed.Haiti”s government has estimated the death toll at 230,000 and says more bodies remain uncounted.

Petit-Goâve (Haitian Creole: Tigwav) is a coastal town in Ouest Department, Haïti. It is located 68 kilometres (42 mi) southwest of Port-au-Prince. The town has a population of approximately 12,000 inhabitants.
The town is one of the oldest cities of the country, and was named Goâve by the Amerindians. The Spanish called it Aguava at the end of the 16th century. After French colonization through the releasing of the Spanish, the French divided the city into two halves; Grand-Goâveand Petit-Goâve. Petit-Goâve became a wealthy settlement in the western half of Hispaniola and briefly became the “pre-capitgal” of the prosperous colony of Saint-Domingue.
January 2010 earthquake
It was significantly affected by the 12 January 2010 earthquake. On 20 January a strong aftershock of magnitude 5.9 Mw struck Haiti. The U.S. Geological Survey reported that its epicentre was almost exactly under Petit-Goâve.
Croix-des-Bouquets is a city in the Ouest Department of Haiti. It is located 12.9 kilometers (8.0 mi) to the northeast of Haiti”s capital city, Port-au-Prince. Originally located on the shore, it was relocated inland after the 1770 Port-au-Prince earthquake. Due to this fact, it was not as badly affected in the 2010 Haiti earthquake. The became home to refugee tent villages of about 10,000 refugees each when the first wave of refugees began to be resettled there.
Croix-des-Bouquets is a northern suburb in the Port-Au-Prince metropolitan area. Haiti is world famous for its exuberant art, richly influenced by nature, history and religion, both Christian and Vodou. The entire village of Croix des Bouquets is a good example of Haitian creativity – it resonates with the sounds of clanging and banging of the mallets and chisels in the process of transforming raw metal into stunning, and often haunting, iron sculptures. The city of Croix-des-Bouquets is on the Plaine du Cul-de-Sac, where many people grow organic foods such as beans, sweet potato, and corn. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
