Bainet (Template:Langx) is a commune in the Bainet Arrondissement, in the Sud-Est department of Haiti. It has 62,300 inhabitants as of 2003.[1]

History

In late 1791 and early 1792, during the early Haitian Revolution, slaves in Bainet rebelled as part of the Trou Coffy uprising led by Romaine-la-Prophétesse.[2]

The commune's administrative offices were destroyed as a result of the 2010 Haiti earthquake. As a result, from 2010 to 2016, city officials worked in prefabricated premises funded by the United Nations Stabilisation Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH). MINUSTAH ultimately funded the creation of a new town hall, which was inaugurated in October 2016.[3]

Notable people

The Haitian artist and photographer Gérald Bloncourt was born in Bainet.[4]
