Life for Relief and Development continues providing aid to Haiti History The native Taino Amerindians who inhabited the island of Hispaniola when it was discovered by Columbus in 1492 were virtually annihilated by Spanish settlers within 25 years. In the early 17th century, the French established a presence on Hispaniola. In 1697, Spain ceded to the French the western third of the island, which later became Haiti. In the late 18th century Haiti’s nearly half million slaves revolted and after a prolonged struggle, Haiti became the first black republic to declare independence in 1804. The poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, Haiti has been plagued by political violence for most of its history. A massive 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck Haiti in January 2010 with an epicenter about 15km south of Port-au-Prince the capital of Haiti. An estimated 2 million people lived in the zone of heavy structural damage. The earthquake was assessed as the worst in the region in over the last 200 years.
