History[]
• In 1802, Cangé, after defeating Delpèche in the hills of Petit-Goâve, went to wage war in the South against the French and came to camp at the Olivier habitation, located near the Miragoane Bridge.
The bridge was guarded by a battalion of native hunters under the orders of Commander Pérou, black, and by other troops. The native hunters, having learned of Cangé's arrival, resolved to hand over the post they were guarding to him. One of them went to Olivier and asked to speak to Cangé, who approached him. As soon as he saw the uniform of the Creole hunters, he exclaimed, "Stop this Frenchman." The young man was sabered before his eyes. His own people were natives of this act of cruelty.
As soon as the Creole hunters learned of the assassination of their envoy, they marched against the insurgents, attacked them with fury, knocked them down, and pursued them far away. Cangé did not stop in his flight until the plain of Léogâne.
Leveillé, a black officer, also went camping at Olivier around the same time. He recruited many farmers in the heights of Rochelois and marched against the French, whom he defeated on the Sainte-Croix plantation.
• On March 12, 1812, Pétion was at the Olivier when he wrote to the Senate to announce the submission of the Southern Department to the Republic, after the death of General Andre Rigaud in Les Cayes.
