La Romana’s modern history dates back to the early 19th Century when it was founded as an oil town. But after the construction of a sugar mill plantation in 1917, our economy shifted to sugar production and our small city grew at a rapid pace. People came from all over the Caribbean to live and work in our little paradise. By the 1970s, La Romana bloomed into a tourism destination thanks to resorts like Casa de Campo and the reconstruction of a 16th century Mediterranean village, Altos de Chavón. Both of which are beautiful cultural attractions to visit in La Romana!
