Humatas is a small area, called a barrio, in the town of Añasco, Puerto Rico. In 2010, about 756 people lived there. It's a quiet place with its own unique history and local areas.

History of Humatas

Puerto Rico became part of the United States after a war with Spain. This war was called the Spanish–American War. It ended with a peace agreement known as the Treaty of Paris of 1898. After this, Puerto Rico became an unincorporated territory of the United States. This means it is a part of the U.S. but does not have all the same rights as a state.

In 1899, the United States government counted everyone living in Puerto Rico. This count is called a census. They found that Humatas and a nearby barrio called Dagüey had a combined population of 938 people.
