A Look Back in Time
Puerto Rico used to be a part of Spain. After the Spanish–American War ended in 1898, Spain gave Puerto Rico to the United States. This happened because of a peace agreement called the Treaty of Paris of 1898.
Becoming a U.S. Territory
After the war, Puerto Rico became an unincorporated territory of the United States. This means it's a part of the U.S. but doesn't have all the same rights as a state. In 1899, the U.S. government counted the people living in Puerto Rico. They found that San Antonio barrio had 1,760 residents at that time.
