Fort-Liberté, HAITI
This video is not top notch, but I share it with you guys anyways. Down the road, I promise to bring you better video of Fort-Liberte. I will bring you everything about Fort Liberte. The area around Fort-Liberté was originally inhabited by Indigenous peoples of the Americas, and later by Spanish colonists, who founded the city of Bayaja in 1578, but abandoned it in 1605. The site was reoccupied by the French in 1732 as Fort-Dauphin; it was captured by Spanish forces in 1794, restored to the French in 1801 and then surrendered to the British on 8 September 1803, shortly before the declaration of independence. The city has undergone a succession of name changes: Bayaja (1578), Fort-Dauphin (1732), Fort St. Joseph (1804), Fort-Royal (1811) and finally Fort-Liberté (1820).[2][4][5] The town is the see city of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Fort-Liberté
