History
Puerto Rico was ceded by Spain in the aftermath of the Spanish–American War under the terms of the Treaty of Paris of 1898 and became an unincorporated territory of the United States. In 1899, the United States Department of War conducted a census of Puerto Rico finding that the population of San José barrio was 687.
Sectors
Barrios (which are, in contemporary times, roughly comparable to minor civil divisions) in turn are further subdivided into smaller local populated place areas/units called sectores (sectors in English). The types of sectores may vary, from normally sector to urbanización to reparto to barriada to residencial, among others.
The following sectors are in San José barrio:
Calle San Miguel, Camimo de Aniceto Román, Carretera 485, Condominio Paraíso del Atlántico, Residencial Parque del Retiro, Sector Jayuya, Sector Yeguada (colindancia con Camuy en Carretera 435), and Urbanización Brisa Tropical.
