Port-au-Prince is the capital and largest city of Haiti, home to approximately 1 million city residents and 2.6 million in the metropolitan area. Haiti observes Eastern Time (EST/EDT), the same as New York. Haiti is the Western Hemisphere's poorest country and the first Black republic — its revolutionary history is extraordinary. Haiti's 1791–1804 Haitian Revolution was the only successful slave revolt in history that created a new nation. Enslaved Africans, led by figures including Toussaint Louverture and Jean-Jacques Dessalines, defeated Napoleon Bonaparte's army and declared independence in 1804. Port-au-Prince was devastated by a catastrophic 7.0 magnitude earthquake on January 12, 2010 — killing an estimated 100,000–316,000 people and leaving 1.5 million homeless. The city has been rebuilding slowly, hindered by ongoing political instability and natural disasters. Iron Market (Marché de Fer), rebuilt after the earthquake, and the historic Citadelle Laferrière fortress — a UNESCO World Heritage Site built after independence — reflect Haiti's resilience.
