About Ozama River
The Ozama River in the Dominican Republic rises in the Loma Siete Cabezas in the Sierra de Yamasá, close to Villa Altagracia. In 1498, Bartolome Colon had a fort built on the Ozama. The estuary at that time, "teemed with fish and where the Indians raised cassava and yams," according to Floyd.
