In the 1660s, the French established ports in the northwest, and the French West Indies Company took control of the region. In 1697, Spain formally ceded the western third of Hispaniola to France. Later, the French renamed it, Santo Domingo. Santo Domingo entered the French colonial period. Between 1791 and 1804, Haiti broke out The Haitian Revolution and declared independence on January 1st, 1804.
