A Look at Collores' History

Puerto Rico, including areas like Collores, became a territory of the United States after the Spanish–American War. This happened in 1898, when Spain gave up control of the island.

Soon after, in 1899, the U.S. government counted the people living in Puerto Rico. They found that Collores and a nearby barrio called Cacaos had a combined population of 1,588 people.
