Haina River
The 883rd longest river in the world
The Haina River is a waterway situated in the Dominican Republic. It flows along the eastern boundary of the hydrographic district encompassing Azua, Baní, and San Cristóbal. In 1496, according to Floyd, "Miguel Diaz and Francisco de Garay, working their way down the Haina river, discovered rich deposits of gold in the river sands perhaps twenty-five miles from the coast." Bartolome Colon built a fort along this river, "well situated within the gold region", which he named San Cristobal.
Flows through: Dominican Republic.
