Map of the French Colony of Saint-Domingue, in 1777. To the east, is the Captaincy General of Santo Domingo. The border dividing the island on the map is the one agreed in the Treaty of Aranjuez of 1777. At first, the entire island of Hispaniola belonged to Spain, but the French managed to seize the western part of the island thanks to the Devastations of Osorio (1605–1606).
