A Look at Roncador's Past
Puerto Rico was once controlled by Spain. After the Spanish–American War in 1898, Spain gave Puerto Rico to the United States. This happened because of a special agreement called the Treaty of Paris of 1898.
Puerto Rico then became a territory of the United States. In 1899, the United States government counted all the people living in Puerto Rico. This count is called a census. The census showed that 1,130 people lived in Roncador barrio at that time.
