Arrondissements of Haiti
An arrondissement (French pronunciation: [aʁɔ̃dismɑ̃] (
listen)) is a level of administrative division in Haiti.
As of 2015[update], the 10 departments of Haiti were divided into 42 arrondissements.[1]
Arrondissements are further divided into communes and communal sections.
The term arrondissement can be roughly translated into English as district.[2] A more etymologically precise, but less allegorical, definition would be encirclements, from the French arrondir, to encircle.[3] Because no single translation adequately conveys the layered sense of the word, the French term is usually used in English writing.
The Arrondissements are listed below, by department:
