  • Sister Cities

    Cap-Haitien, Haiti and Portland, Maine

    Sister Cities International was created at President Dwight Eisenhower’s 1956 White House conference on citizen diplomacy. Since then, communities throughout the U.S. have developed Sister City relationships with communities in other countries to create exchanges that foster community impact and kindle lifelong friendships.
