History of Santa Rosa
How Santa Rosa Became Part of the U.S.
After the Spanish–American War, Puerto Rico was given to the United States by Spain. This happened because of a special agreement called the Treaty of Paris of 1898. This made Puerto Rico 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.
Early Population Count
In 1899, the United States Department of War did a count of all the people in Puerto Rico. This count, called a census, showed that 687 people lived in the Santa Rosa barrio at that time.
