A Glimpse into Jaguar's Past

After the Spanish–American War ended in 1898, Spain gave Puerto Rico to the United States. This happened because of a special agreement called the Treaty of Paris of 1898. Puerto Rico then became an unincorporated territory of the U.S.

In 1899, the United States Department of War carried out a census (a count of the population) in Puerto Rico. They found that the combined population of Jaguar and the nearby Masa barrios was 1,270 people.
