Haniguayagua

Haniguayagua is associated with Aniguayagua, another name for Xaragua, the Taíno chiefdom of southwestern Hispaniola. Its territories included the Yaguana plain, the southern peninsula and islands in the gulf to the north. Bohechío and his sister Anacaona were among the leaders remembered in early accounts. Spanish conquest at the beginning of the sixteenth century shattered the chiefdom and its network of communities.

The later city of Miragoâne lies here.
