Nord-Est Department
From the Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia that anyone can change
Nord-Est (English: North-East) is one of the ten departments (French: départments, singular départment) of Haiti. It is located in the northeastern corner of the country, along the border with the Dominican Republic.
It has an area of 1,805 km² and a population of 283,800 (2002). Its capital is Fort-Liberté. It is bordered to the north by the Atlantic Ocean, to the west by the Nord Department and to the south by the Centre Department. It borders the Dominican Republic to the east.
After the Haitian Revolution, the country was divided into only three departments: Nord, Ouest and Sud. The Nord-Est department was part of the Nord department.
The department is now divided into four arrondissements:
- Fort-Liberté
- Ouanaminthe
- le Trou-du-Nord
- Vallières
