About this picture: Jacmel capital of the department of Sud-Est Jacmel, also known by its indigenous Taíno name of Yaquimel, is a city in southern Haiti founded in 1698. The city is the capital of the department of Sud-Est and has an estimated population of 40, 000, while the municipality (commune) of Jacmel had a population of 137, 966 at the 2003 Census. The buildings are historic and date from the early nineteenth century; the city has been tentatively accepted as a World Heritage site and UNESCO reports that it has sustained damage in the 2010 Haiti earthquake. The city was founded in 1698 as the capital of the south eastern part of the French colony Saint-Domingue. The area now called Jacmel was Taíno territory of the Xaragua chiefdom ruled by cacique Bohechio. With the arrival of the French, and the later establishment of the town, the French renamed Yaquimel as Jacmel.
