A Look at History
Puerto Rico became a territory of the United States after the Spanish–American War. This happened because Spain gave Puerto Rico to the U.S. under the Treaty of Paris of 1898. In 1899, the U.S. government counted all the people in Puerto Rico. This count is called a census. The census found that Pedro Ávila and a nearby area called Pasto Viejo had a combined population of 886 people.
