The story of the three brothers who journeyed to present day Camp-Perrin in the 1700's speaks of an adventure to discover the possibility of growing profitable crops in the region. Cotton and Coffee were high on the agenda for the Perin's, whose name went on to be that of the camp, and they also thought to find whether the Campeche wood dye and indigo could be lucrative as well as the more popular cash crops. Their venture led to the inhabitation of the region and the consequent creation of the two district towns, Haut-Camp and Bas-Camp.

market Day is one of the most active in Haiti. This is usually the time when people from the country side come together in a specific place to sell their products. What makes it interesting is that not only they come to sell their products, they also use the money earned to buy what they need for their family for the week. These Market Days are usually taken place once a week.

Market is made popular with many Haitian artists who see it as very colorful. You will see many Haitian painters specialized in this subject
