Grand'Anse (department)
Grand'Anse (, ), Grandans or Grantans (; both meaning "Big Cove") is one of the ten departments of Haiti. Its capital is Jérémie. History Taino Period Grand'Anse was part of the Xaragua kasika with settlements including Mamey, the modern-day town of Abricot. Abricot is still known today as "the Indian's Paradise." French Period It is said by the locals that the capital city of Jérémie is named after a French fisherman who established himself in the area because of its isolation from the rest of the country. Due to its rather mountainous geography, Grand'Anse did not support many plantations, and was therefore populated largely by white and mixed-race communities with some of the best schools in the colony. Some slaveowners sent their children to schools in Grand'Anse instead of sending them back to France for education. British Period The department was briefly under British control in 1793.
