Sosua history overview
Sosua history strats with the nautical discoveries of Christopher Columbus in the 1490s and the decision of Spain to establish a landed empire in the Caribbean after 1502.
For Sosua history these events initiated a process that is still ongoing in the area.
Two generations more than sixty-six per cent of the people living in the newly-created Spanish towns as well as in Sosua were mixtures between the conquering Spanish and African invaders and the subject populations.
Mixing of any sort remains a notable Sosua history characteristic.

Sosua history - learn what once happend
Sosua is the Acapulco of the Dominican Republic. You could say that this is where tourism first began back in the 70s and 80s. Despite development, Sosua still keeps its charm with the highest density of shops and restaurants in the Batey section of the destination. Foreigners who originally came for a beach holiday have now established their own ex-patriot communities and businesses. There are large numbers of Germans, Austrians, Canadians and Americans who live here year round. The one kilometer long Sosua Beach continues to be the main attraction of the area. In spite of the large number of vendors who have set up shop right on the beach, it's still one of the most spectacular in the Dominican Republic. Sosua was originally settled by around 600 Jewish refugees fleeing the Second World War who set up a dairy community. As a result, Sosua began to thrive and was soon discovered by the wealthy from nearby Puerto Plata, Santiago and San Francisco de Macoris who came and set up vacation homes. Most of the original Jewish settlers have moved on, but the dairy that produces the Productos Sosua continues to this day. The Sosua Synagogue has a museum with photos and memorabilia of the first Jewish settlers. You can also attend services there. Tourism took off in the 70s and 80s, with the sleepy beach town catering to thousands of day trippers from Playa Dorada resort and to overnighters staying in the many small hotels that sprang up in Sosua. The town built a reputation for its night life. It is said that Sosua wakes up when Puerto Plata and Playa Dorada go to bed. In the 90s, tourism evolved towards the all-inclusive trend and several large resorts were built in the area. Guests still come from nearby Playa Grande, Rio San Juan, Playa Dorada and Puerto Plata for dining, beach town shopping and night life entertainment.
