Léogâne is a coastal town in the Department Ouest (West) in the South of Haiti (18°30′39″N, 72°38′2″W). The port town is located about 29 km (18 miles) West of the Haitian capital Port-au-Prince. Léogâne is the birthplace of the Taíno queen Anacaona (the town was then named Yaguana) and of Marie-Claire Heureuse Félicité, the wife of the Haitian revolutionary Jean-Jacques Dessalines (1758).
