A Look Back in Time
Puerto Rico has an interesting history. After the Spanish–American War, Spain gave Puerto Rico to the United States. This happened under the rules of the Treaty of Paris of 1898. Puerto Rico then became a special area of the United States.
Early Population Counts
In 1899, the United States government counted the people in Puerto Rico. This count is called a census. They found that Juan Martín and a nearby area called Sabana had a total of 1,029 people living there together.
