Susúa's History
After the Spanish–American War in 1898, Spain gave Puerto Rico to the United States. This meant Susúa, like the rest of Puerto Rico, became a territory of the U.S.
In 1899, the United States Department of War took a count of all the people in Puerto Rico. This count, called a census, found that 1,755 people lived in Susúa and the nearby area of Torre.
