History of Llanos
Puerto Rico used to be controlled by Spain. After the Spanish–American War in 1898, Spain gave Puerto Rico to the United States. This was part of the Treaty of Paris of 1898.
Puerto Rico then became an unincorporated territory of the United States. This means it is a part of the U.S. but not a state.
In 1899, the United States government counted the people in Puerto Rico. This count is called a census. The census found that Llanos and a nearby barrio called Algarrobo had a combined population of 1,226 people.
