Passé Reine sits within Artibonite Department, an area producing rice as its main crop. It contains the Artibonite River, home of the Peligre Hydroelectrical Dam.

It is surrounded by 20 metro and rural areas lying within a three-mile radius, and has a medical facility, Albert Schweitzer Hospital.

Passé Reine has suffered uprisings, most recently in 2004. Artibonite tried to break away from the rest of Haiti, but failed. As such, it tolerated economic decline, until President Préval took office.
