During the 17th century as Spanish settlers began to abandon the western part of La Española, French buccaneers and families began to settle in this region. Following hostilities, Spain and France divided the island in 1697, and France received the western third of the island and named it Saint-Domingue. After a series of slave revolts, Saint-Domingue gained its independence from France and was renamed Haiti in 1804.< | During the 17th century as Spanish settlers began to abandon the western part of La Española, French buccaneers and families began to settle in this region.
