A Glimpse into Pueblo's Past
After the Spanish–American War, Spain gave Puerto Rico to the United States. This happened under a special agreement called the Treaty of Paris of 1898. Puerto Rico then became an unincorporated territory of the U.S. This means it's part of the U.S. but doesn't have all the same rights as a state.
In 1899, the United States Department of War counted everyone living in Puerto Rico. They found that Pueblo barrio had 1,074 residents back then. The population has grown quite a bit since then.
