History of Aguacate

Puerto Rico used to be controlled by Spain. After the Spanish–American War in 1898, Spain gave Puerto Rico to the United States. This was part of a deal called the Treaty of Paris of 1898. Puerto Rico then became a territory of the U.S.

In 1899, the United States government counted everyone in Puerto Rico. This count is called a census. The census found that 1,374 people lived in the Aguacate barrio at that time.
