Dajabón Province, Northwestern province in Dominican Republic
The Dajabón Province extends from the Cordillera Central mountains in the south to flat savannas in the north, along the Haitian border.
The province separated from Monte Cristi in 1938 and maintained the name Libertador until its official designation as Dajabón in 1961.
The name Dajabón originates from the Taíno indigenous term Dahaboon, which designated both the region and its principal waterway.
The province contains five municipalities, with the capital city Dajabón serving as a central trading point between Dominican Republic and Haiti.
The Dajabón River forms a natural boundary with Haiti, hosting bi-weekly markets where merchants from both nations exchange goods.
