Port-Anne (Baptistois Creole: Pòan) is the capital of Saint-Baptiste and one of the country's six parishes. Founded in 1552 by the explorer Fidélias Tétreault, Port-Anne was the first Auressian settlement on Saint-Baptiste, and has remained the economic, cultural, and political centre of Saint-Baptiste for over four centuries. During Saint-Baptiste's time as a colonial possession of Vervillia and later Blayk, Port-Anne became a important port for trade in the Rum Gulf, and became known as "the Jewel" of the region.
