Sud, Administrative department in southern Haiti
The Sud department encompasses 2,794 square kilometers of varied terrain, including coastal areas along the Caribbean Sea and inland agricultural regions.
In 1801, Governor-General Toussaint Louverture transformed the Sud region from a French colonial province into one of Haiti's first administrative departments.
Each of the five arrondissements in Sud department maintains distinct traditions through local festivals that combine French colonial and African influences.
The National Route 2 connects Les Cayes, the department capital, to Port-au-Prince, facilitating transportation of agricultural products and commercial goods.
The department houses multiple sugar cane processing facilities that continue operations using methods dating back to the colonial period.
