Contents
Puerto Rico became a part of the United States after the Spanish–American War in 1898. This happened because of an agreement called the Treaty of Paris of 1898. After this, Puerto Rico became an unincorporated territory of the United States. This means it's a territory that belongs to the U.S. but isn't a state.
Early Population Counts
In 1899, the United States Department of War took a special count of all the people in Puerto Rico. This count is called a census. They found that the combined population of Navarro and another nearby barrio called Quebrada Infierno was 1,093 people.
