History
Puerto Rico was ceded by Spain in the aftermath of the Spanish–American War under the terms of the Treaty of Paris of 1898 and became an unincorporated territory of the United States. In 1899, the United States Department of War conducted a census of Puerto Rico finding that the population of Morovis Norte barrio was 821.
Puente Colorao (Red Bridge) at kilometer 50 on PR-155 and over the Indio River in Morovis Norte, leads to the expressway and to Morovis barrio-pueblo, the downtown area with the municipal buildings and a number of stores. It is a bridge that was built by the United States Army Corps of Engineers in 1913. In June 2020, it was closed for repairs.
