Saint-Domingue was a French colony on the Caribbean island of Hispaniola from 1659 to 1804, in what is now Haiti. The French had established themselves on the western portion of the islands of Hispaniola and Tortuga by 1659. In the Treaty of Ryswick of 1697, Spain formally recognized French control of Tortuga Island and the western third of the island of Hispaniola. In 1791, enslaved Africans and some free people of color of Saint-Domingue began waging a rebellion against French authority; the rebels became reconciled to French rule following the abolition of slavery in the colony in 1793, although this alienated the island's dominant slave-owning class. France controlled the entirety of Hispaniola from 1795 to 1802, when a renewed rebellion began; the last French troops withdrew from the western portion of the island in late 1803, the colony declared its independence as Haiti, its indigenous name, the following year. Spain controlled the entire island of Hispaniola from the 1490s until the 17th century, when French pirates began establishing bases on the western side of the island.

The official name was La Española, meaning "The Spanish". It was called Santo Domingo, after Saint Dominic; the western part of Hispaniola was neglected by the Spanish authorities, French buccaneers began to settle first on the Tortuga Island on the northwest of the island. Spain ceded the entire western coast of the island to France, retaining the rest of the island, including the Guava Valley, today known as the Central Plateau; the French called their portion of Hispaniola Saint-Domingue, the French equivalent of Santo Domingo. The Spanish colony on Hispaniola remained separate, became the Dominican Republic, the capital of, still named Santo Domingo; when Christopher Columbus took possession of the island in 1492, he named it Insula Hispana, meaning "the Spanish island" in Latin As Spain conquered new regions on the mainland of the Americas, its interest in Hispaniola waned, the colony's population grew slowly. By the early 17th century, the island and its smaller neighbors, notably Tortuga, became regular stopping points for Caribbean pirates.

In 1606, the king of Spain ordered all inhabitants of Hispaniola to move close to Santo Domingo, to avoid interaction with pirates. Rather than secure the island, this resulted in French and Dutch pirates establishing bases on the now-abandoned north and west coasts of the island. French buccaneers established a settlement on the island of Tortuga in 1625 before going to Grande Terre. At first they survived by pirating ships, eating wild cattle and hogs, selling hides to traders of all nations. Although the Spanish destroyed the buccaneers' settlements several times, on each occasion they returned due to an abundance of natural resources: hardwood trees, wild hogs and cattle, fresh water; the settlement on Tortuga was established in 1659 under the commission of King Louis XIV. In 1665, French colonization of the islands Hispaniola and Tortuga entailed slavery-based plantation agricultural activity such as growing coffee and cattle farming, it was recognized by King Louis XIV. Spain tacitly recognized the French presence in the western third of the island in the 1697 Treaty of Ryswick.

The economy of Saint-Domingue became focused on slave-based agricultural plantations. Saint-Domingue's Black population increased, they followed the example of neighboring Caribbean colonies in coercive treatment of the enslaved population. More cattle and slave agricultural holdings, coffee plantations and spice plantations were implemented, as well as fishing, cultivation of cocoa and snuff. Saint-Domingue came to overshadow the previous colony in both wealth and population. Nicknamed the "Pearl of the Antilles," Saint-Domingue became the richest and most prosperous French colony in the West Indies, cementing its status as an important port in the Americas for goods and products flowing to and from France and Europe. Thus, the income and the taxes from slave-based sugar production became a major source of the French budget. Among the first buccaneers was Bertrand D'Ogeron, who played a big part in the settlement of Saint-Domingue, he encouraged the planting of tobacco, which turned a population of buccaneers and freebooters, who had not acquiesced to royal authority until 1660, into a sedentary population.

D'Orgeron attracted many colonists from Martinique and Guadeloupe, including Jean Roy, Jean Hebert and his family, Guillaume Barre and his family, who were driven out by the land pressure, generated by the extension of the sugar plantations in those colonies. But in 1670, shortly after Cap-Français had been established, the crisis of tobacco intervened and a great number of places were abandoned; the rows of freebooting grew bigger. The first sugar windmill was built in 1685. On 22 July 1795, Spain ceded to France the remaining Spanish part of the island of Hispaniola, Santo Domingo, in the second Treaty of Basel, ending the War of the Pyrenees; the people of the eastern part of Saint-Domingue were opposed to the arrangements and hostile toward the French. The islanders revolted against their new mas
