Môle Saint-Nicolas (Mòlsennikola or Omòl in Haitian Creole) is a city in the Republic of Haiti. It is one of the three arrondisements (districts) of the department of Nord-Ouest. It is located on the site where the Santa Maria, commanded by Christopher Columbus, ran aground on December 25, 1492. Columbus founded Fort Navidad on the site. It received its present name after France gained control of the western part of Hispaniola in 1697.
