History
Puerto Rico became a part of the United States after the Spanish–American War. This happened because of a peace agreement called the Treaty of Paris of 1898. After the war, Puerto Rico became an unincorporated territory of the United States. This means it's a territory that belongs to the U.S. but is not fully a part of it, like a state.
In 1899, the United States government did a count of all the people in Puerto Rico. This count, called a census, showed that 1,593 people lived in the Río Arriba Saliente barrio at that time. Over the years, the population has grown, as you can see in the chart above.
