1640平方米的路易斯港地区是现代有契据的劳动力移民的起源地。1834年，英国政府选择毛里求斯岛为第一处试验地进行所谓的“伟大试验”，用自由劳动力代替奴隶。在1834年到1920年间，近50万名有契约的劳动力从印度来到阿普拉瓦西•加特地区，在毛里求斯的制糖厂工作，或被运送到了澳大利亚留尼汪岛、南部和东部非洲，或加勒比地区。阿普拉瓦西•加特地区的建筑是最早清晰展示未来世界经济体系的建筑之一，也是历史上最伟大的移民见证。

In the district of Port Louis, lies the 1,640 m2 site where the modern indentured labour diaspora began. In 1834, the British Government selected the island of Mauritius to be the first site for what it called ‘the great experiment’ in the use of ‘free’ labour to replace slaves. Between 1834 and 1920, almost half a million indentured labourers arrived from India at Aapravasi Ghat to work in the sugar plantations of Mauritius, or to be transferred to Reunion Island, Australia, southern and eastern Africa or the Caribbean. The buildings of Aapravasi Ghat are among the earliest explicit manifestations of what was to become a global economic system and one of the greatest migrations in history.
