Cidral is a small area, like a neighborhood, in the town of San Sebastián, Puerto Rico. It is known as a barrio. In 2010, about 415 people lived there.

History of Cidral

Puerto Rico became a part 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. Puerto Rico then became an "unincorporated territory" of the U.S. This means it is a U.S. territory but not a state.

In 1899, the United States government took a count of all the people in Puerto Rico. This count is called a census. The census found that Cidral and a nearby area called Piedras Blancas had a combined population of 1,125 people.

What are Sectors?

Barrios, like Cidral, are often divided into even smaller local areas. These smaller areas are called sectores (which means sectors in English).

The types of sectors can be different. Some are simply called sector, while others might be named urbanización, reparto, barriada, or residencial. Each name describes a different kind of local community or housing area.
