Les Cayes

Town and port lying on the Bay of Cayes, on the southwest coast of the Republic of Haiti; population (1997) 36,000. It is the capital of the Sud department and the fourth-largest town in Haiti. Les Cayes is also the commercial centre of the leading coffee-producing area in the country.

But the late Allen Walker Read proved that OK did not derive from okeh, an affirmative reply in Choctaw; nor from the name of chief Old Keokuk; nor from a fellow named Orrin Kendall, who manufactured a tasty brand of army biscuit for Union soldiers in the Civil War; nor from the Haitian port Aux Cayes, which produced superior rum; nor from open key, a telegraph term; nor from the Greek olla kalla, 'all good.
