Predecessor of [[Bertrand-François Mahé de La Bourdonnais|La Bourdonnais]] on the Isles and [[Joseph François Dupleix|Dupleix]] in the [[Indies]], Dumas hailed from Southern [[France]]. There is still a street in [[Pondicherry (city)|Pondicherry]] named after him.<br /> <br /> The City of [[Réunion]] was established by him in 1730. It is he who launched the colonization of Réunion island decided by [[Antoine Marie Desforges-Boucher|Desforges Boucher]]. 244 concessions were allotted during his 8 years of administration, between the Gully of Gol and the Gully of the Ramparts. Like [[Étienne Regnault|Régnault]], he wished to create a city around the immense concession (more than 10&amp;nbsp;km²) which extended &#039;&#039;[[du battant des lames au sommet des montagnes]]&#039;&#039; on the future location [[Saint-Pierre, Réunion|Saint-Pierre]]. He even made Antoine of Bavaria draw a project of urban plan in a checkerboard and to this, he conceded 48 sites with the river initially on 26 August 1733.<br /> <br /> He is also the man of the opening-up.&lt;!--what??--&gt; He made Pierre Boisson and Abraham Muron to undertake the construction of a way connecting [[Saint-Denis, Réunion|Saint-Denis]] to the [[Communes of France|commune]] of [[La Possession]]. This sinuous layout of 30 kilometers decided on 16 June 1730 was going to become the mountain road. On 3 August 1733 he charged Delisle and River to open the section [[Sainte-Marie, Réunion|Sainte-Marie]] - [[Saint-Benoît, Réunion|Saint-Benoît]], and the road connecting [[Saint-Paul, Réunion|Saint-Paul]] initially had the new concession of the River. Some time later, he became Governor General for the French Establishments in India.<br /> <br /> ==Titles==<br /> {{S-start}}<br /> {{S-gov}}<br /> {{Succession box | before= Hélie Dioré | title=[[Governor-General]] of [[Réunion]] | after=Bertrand-François [[Mahé, India|Mahé]] [[Count|Comte]] de [[Bertrand-François Mahé de La Bourdonnais|La Bourdonnais]] | years=21 July 1727 &amp;ndash; 11 July 1735}}<br /> <br /> {{Succession box | before= [[Pierre Christoph Le Noir]] | title=[[Governor-General]] of [[French India]]| after=[[Joseph François Dupleix]] | years=November 1734 &amp;ndash; 1741}}<br /> {{S-end}}<br /> <br /> {{DEFAULTSORT:Dumas, Pierre Benoit}}<br /> [[Category:Governors of French India]]<br /> [[Category:Governors of Réunion]]<br /> [[Category:Governors of Isle de France (Mauritius)]]<br /> [[Category:1668 births]]<br /> [[Category:1745 deaths]]<br /> <br /> <br /> {{Réunion-bio-stub}}</div>
