Bombardopolis

Bombardopolis (Haitian Creole: Bonbadopolis) is a commune located in the hilly country of the Môle-Saint-Nicolas Arrondissement, in the Nord-Ouest department of Haiti.

Bombardopolis was founded in 1764 by German settlers with the support of the nearby Director of Môle, Mr. Fusée Aublet.

The local government wished to separate those of German ancestry from the Acadians, judging the two cultures could not happily coexist.

During the colonial period, Bombardopolis was first a parish under the administration of the Quartier du Môle-Saint-Nicolas, and then was elevated to canton status in 1797.

Bombardopolis was made a commune of the Republic of Haiti in 1821, during the administration of President Jean-Pierre Boyer.
