Nord, Administrative department in northern Haiti
The Nord Department spans 2,115 square kilometers across the northern region of Haiti, with Cap-Haïtien serving as its administrative capital.
The department gained prominence during the Haitian Revolution when slave rebellions in 1791 transformed the region into a pivotal battleground for independence.
The National History Park in Nord contains multiple heritage structures, including fortifications that demonstrate the architectural capabilities of free Haitians.
Visitors can reach Nord through the international airport at Cap-Haïtien or by taking National Route 1 from Port-au-Prince.
Local artisans in Nord continue the centuries-old tradition of gold mining, using techniques that date back to the indigenous Taino period.
