Marigot (Haitian Creole: Marigo) is a commune in the Jacmel Arrondissement, in the Sud-Est department of Haiti. It has 50,739 inhabitants.
In early 1793, during the Haitian Revolution, Marigot's black inhabitants rebelled and built a fort in the city.[2] Abbé Aubert, a white priest and leader of the rebellion in the area, also commandeered Marigot's cannons and contributed them to Romaine-la-Prophétesse's slave uprising around and siege of Jacmel.[3]
