A Look Back: History of Mucarabones
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.
In 1899, the United States government took a count of all the people in Puerto Rico. This count is called a census. The census found that 954 people lived in the Mucarabones barrio at that time.
