website = "'Estebania" is a small town (population ~10,000) about a 10-minute drive from the city ofÁzua de Compostela in theAzua Province of theDominican Republic . The town is closest to another town namedLas Charcas .The town is growing economically due to the support of Dominican
emigrant s living in theUnited States . Most of the emigrants live inNew York City , particularly Washington Heights, theBronx ,Queens , and the suburbs ofNew Jersey andLong Island . However, many others live inMiami ,Boston and other parts of theNortheastern United States .As with most other Dominican towns,
baseball is a major pastime in Estebania. Local children play the sport at the town's baseball field, whether by themselves or with a team.Men in the town are typically
farmer s, while women are almost strictly housewives. However, women from poorer families work outside the house, either selling freshproduce or as maids in the homes of others. The men take "siesta s", when they return from work around noon for lunch and a nap.A large
Haiti an population exists in the town, one which remains separate from the native Dominicans, and is largely discriminated against.
