The Story of Llanadas

Puerto Rico used to be controlled by Spain. After the Spanish–American War, Spain gave Puerto Rico to the United States. This happened because of a peace agreement called the Treaty of Paris of 1898.

In 1899, the United States government counted everyone living in Puerto Rico. This count is called a census. The census found that 1,564 people lived in the Llanadas barrio at that time.
