Centre, Administrative department in central Haiti
The Centre department extends across 3,487 square kilometers of high plateau terrain, bordering the Dominican Republic and containing the capital city of Hinche.
The Centre department witnessed major events during the Haitian Revolution, with commander David Troy from Mirebalais participating in the Declaration of Independence signing.
The department maintains traditional agricultural practices across its communes, with local communities cultivating tobacco and raising livestock according to methods passed through generations.
Four arrondissements form the administrative structure of Centre: Cerca-la-Source, Hinche, Lascahobas, and Mirebalais, connected by a network of regional roads.
Lake Péligre, formed by the largest hydroelectric dam in the Caribbean, provides essential power resources to the surrounding communities in the Centre department.
