A Look Back in Time
Puerto Rico became a territory of the United States after the Spanish–American War in 1898. This happened because of a peace agreement called the Treaty of Paris of 1898. In 1899, the U.S. government counted everyone living in Puerto Rico. This count is called a census. The census found that Ceiba Norte and a nearby area called Ceiba Sur had 1,408 people living there together. Over the years, the number of people living in Ceiba Norte has grown.
