ENNERY, Artibonite - Vizite BEL PEYI !!!!

Contact:   / tvpeyi   La ville d'Ennery est fondée en 1776 et porte le nom de Victor-Thérèse Charpentier, comte d'Ennery, gouverneur de Saint-Domingue en 1775-1776. Ennery est la ville de l'un des grands chefs de la révolution haïtienne, Toussaint Louverture. Les ruines de sa maison se trouvent encore à Ennery. Fatras-Bâton, comme on le surnommait, a fait de la ville une zone stratégique et c'est à Ennery qu'il fut arrêté par le général Leclerc et ensuite déporté en France pour mourir de froid au château de Fort de Joux. One of the oldest towns in Haiti, historians have described Ennery as the most picturesque place in the north and in the Artibonite, in a less extended environment. It is a valley sprinkled by a river, and surrounded on all sides by a belt of green mountains, the tops are crowned with the forests of lataniers. Every mountain seems separated from its neighbor by a ravine, an immense tear which crosses it from the top to the base. In this valley, and in the midst of this framing, one would think oneself completely away from the rest of the world. The path that crosses the valley is wide and shady of tall trees. When the sun floods with its rays the environs of Ennery, a prodigious richness of vegetation, with their beautiful population and their numerous flocks, escapes of views of a rare magnificence excite the admiration of the traveler. Etymology The name Ennery was first given in 1776 to a canton of the province of Marmalade, during the Treaty of demarcation between the French and the Spaniards, under the colonial government of the count of Ennery. The count of Ennery died in Port-au-Prince the same year; His mausoleum is the Cimitière de l'intérieur, in the ancient chapel of this cemetery. Later, the village of Ennery was established in this township, and the flattery of the settlers substituted for it the name of Louverture, nickname of Toussaint, because this general owned much of the land. One of the oldest towns in Haiti, the name Ennery is also known as Ville de l'anse, Ennery is a small metro area of 50,000 citizens and contains several locales such as Pascal, Hamel, Boutique and Durand. It also brings together four communual sections namely Puilboreau, Chemin Neuf, Savannah Square and Queen Pass.
