Long inhabited by the natives, Macouba was famous for growing petun (tobacco), followed later by cocoa and coffee. As for its name, we'll have to look to the aquatic world: the macouba is a freshwater fish with an esteemed flesh, also known simply as a tadpole, which was already delighting Father Labat, the parish priest in 1696. After the slaves were freed in 1848, the land was worked hard by new arrivals from India, bringing relative wealth to the commune. Surrounded by low-slung houses and narrow streets, the commune is particularly peaceful, seemingly isolated from the rest of the world.
