19th century

Here is a picture of an industry that was at one time the life line of Haiti. At the turn of the 19th century,Dauphin Plantation was the largest employer in Haiti, providing jobs to over two thousands people. Many people still remember today how things were in the region when the company was in existance.

The economy of Caracol was booming. Most of the job involved the pressing of Sisal Plants for the production of fiber ropes and other products.
