'''Fort Ogé''' is part of around 20 military instalments, built on the Haitian territory after the 1804 independence: a defensive system aimed to stop a possible return of the French, former owners of the Saint-Domingue colony. The Fort Ogé was built under the direction of general [[Magloire Ambroise]]. The ruins of the fort are located inside the commune section of Cap-Rouge. Its name reminds of [[Vincent Ogé]], one of the main protagonists of the Haitian revolution. |
