The Samana Bay Company of Santo Domingo was a company established in the mid-19th century with the aim of developing the Samana Peninsula in the Dominican Republic. The company was granted a concession by the Dominican government to develop the area, including building infrastructure and attracting settlers.[1][2][3]
