History of Pueblo

How Pueblo Became Part of the U.S.

Pueblo was once listed in the official records of Spain. This was before Puerto Rico became a territory of the United States.

After the Spanish–American War, Spain gave Puerto Rico to the United States. This happened because of a peace agreement called the Treaty of Paris of 1898.

Puerto Rico then became an "unincorporated territory" of the U.S. This means it is part of the U.S. but does not have all the same rights as a state.

Early Population Count

In 1899, the United States government counted the people in Puerto Rico. This count is called a census. The census found that 1,057 people lived in Pueblo at that time.
