Magorix

Magorix is associated with the Macorix peoples of northern Hispaniola, whom early chroniclers distinguished from neighboring Taíno speakers. Their communities inhabited a region of northern coasts and valleys, and Bartolomé de las Casas described their language as different from that spoken elsewhere on the island. The name preserves evidence of the linguistic diversity of Hispaniola before Spanish conquest transformed its Indigenous societies.

The later city of San Fernando de Monte Cristi lies here.
