Jarabacoa
Jarabacoa is a town and the second largest municipality in La Vega Province, Dominican Republic. == History == Although many historical details are still unknown, Jarabacoa lies along the borderline between the native Taino chiefdoms of Maguá and Maguana. While there are no indications of any Taino settlements, it can be assumed that sporadic Tainos lived in the area long before the arrival of Christopher Columbus. It is assumed that the city's name was formed out of the words 'Jaraba' and 'Coa', meaning roughly "Land of Waters". The Spanish conquistadors came here looking for gold, yet no large finds were ever made, although to this day gold can be washed from some of the many rivers. It wasn't until 1805 that the area began being populated, during the Haitian invasion of the Cibao, when survivors from the massacres of Santiago de los Caballeros and La Vega escaped to the mountains of the Central Range and settled in the valley of Jarabacoa. In 1854, a military post was established and the town was formally founded. On September 27, 1858 the town was incorporated as a municipality.
