El Seibo Province, Eastern province in Dominican Republic

Located at 104 meters above sea level, El Seibo Province spans across 1,786 square kilometers of land in the eastern Dominican Republic.

The province, established in 1844, originated from a settlement founded by Spanish conquistador Juan de Esquivel in 1502 and named after a Taino chief.

The province maintains traditional celebrations with atabales drum music and religious festivities honoring Saint Cruz from May 1st through May 10th each year.

The region produces 132,000 quintals of cocoa annually, making it the second-largest cocoa-producing province in the Dominican Republic.

The Battle of Palo Hincado in 1808 near El Seibo marked a confrontation between Napoleon Bonaparte's French troops and local Creole forces.
