History of Honduras Barrio
How Puerto Rico Became Part of the U.S.
Puerto Rico used to belong to Spain. After the Spanish–American War in 1898, Spain gave Puerto Rico to the United States. This happened because of a special agreement called the Treaty of Paris of 1898.
After this, Puerto Rico became an unincorporated territory of the United States. This means it's part of the U.S. but doesn't have all the same rights as a state.
Early Population Counts
In 1899, the United States Department of War counted everyone living in Puerto Rico. They found that Honduras barrio and a nearby area called Toíta had a total of 800 people.
