The cities are one and the same. Cap-Francais (Cap-Francois in eighteenth-century French) was renamed Cap-Haitien after the Revolution. There was no break in habitation or abandonment of the city in between these periods, though the entire white population left or were killed. Therefore, CF can be referenced under CH as its former name. 69.214.19.25 04:24, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Population

The French article states that the city's population is 500,000. Is the population given here just for the city proper? 68.40.65.164 06:42, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
