A Look Back in Time

Puerto Rico has a long and interesting history. 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.

Because of this treaty, 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 Count

In 1899, the United States Department of War conducted a special count of people, called a census, in Puerto Rico. They found that Jájome Bajo and a nearby community called Sumido had a combined population of 961 people.

Over the years, the population of Jájome Bajo has changed. Here's a look at how many people lived there during different census years:
