History

In 1805, during the Haitian invasion of the Cibao, survivors from the massacres of Santiago de los Caballeros and La Vega escaped to the mountains of the "Cordillera Central" and settled in the valley of Jarabacoa. In 1854, a military post was settled an the town was formally founded. On, September 27, 1858 the town was incorporated as a municipality. In 1955, the municipality of Jarabacoa and the municipality of Constanza were made into a province called "Jarabacoa" with Constanza as it's capital. It was named Jarabacoa because of the river that passed the 2 municipalities.
