Overview

Haiti is divided to 9 departments: Artibonite, Centre, Grand 'Anse, Nord, Nord-Est, Nord-Ouest, Ouest, Sud and Sud-Est. There is no information about any flags used in those departments.

Cap-Haïtien

Cap-Haïtien is a commune on the north coast of Haiti and capital of the department of Nord. There are about 200,000 inhabitants.

The flag is a bicolor, red over white, with a big white square in the center where are drawn the arms of the commune. This coat of arms depicts a phoenix, with the motto "I am reborn from my ashes" above it, on a ribbon in the national colors.

Unfortunately, a typo has been made on the flag, as you can clearly see that : "c" in "cendres" has been replaced by a "g," resulting in the word "gendres" (sons-in-law). Of course, "I am reborn from my sons-in-law" sounds rather strange...

Milot

This possible emblem of Milot (Nord, Haiti) came from the Facebook page of the City Council.
NguyenPhucDit, 23 September 2025

This emblem looks like a derivation of the royal arms of Henri I of Haiti, previously known as Henri Christophe. However, that one displayed the stars, not the bees, and there was no label - speaking of which, five points would have denoted King's grandson, but King's only surviving son was killed shortly after his death, at the age of 16, before he was able to father any children.
