The Treaty of Aranjuez was signed on 3 June 1777 between France and Spain. Based on the terms of the treaty, the two countries agreed to define the border of their respective colonies on the island of Santo Domingo (also known as Hispaniola) in the Caribbean Sea, of which they shared ownership. Spain made substantial gains in the upper Artibonite Valley in middle section of the island. The new border was to be marked by border stones. It was signed at Aranjuez Palace, near Madrid, in Spain. It was one of a number of diplomatic agreements signed at the palace in the eighteenth century and should not be confused with the 1779 Treaty of Aranjuez between the two states, which led to Spain's entry into the American War of Independence.
