Discover Caguas
When the Spanish arrived in 1493, the Taíno chief Caguax was cacique of the Turabo region, and the city's name comes from him; it may be related to the Taíno word "cagua," for snail or slug. Spanish settlers expanded farming and opened mines for gold, silver and copper, and most of the Taíno were driven out or enslaved and moved to the Real Hacienda del Toa. Much of the valley was cleared for cattle ranches, among them the Hato de Bairoa, Hato de Caguax and Hato de Gurabo.
More about Caguas
Caguas was founded on January 1, 1775, as San Sebastián del Piñal de Caguax, a name later shortened, and the site of its downtown and central plaza dates from 1779. It was granted the title of villa in 1820 and city rights in 1894. Sugarcane was the main crop, processed at mills such as Central Santa Juana and Central Santa Catalina. The Carretera Central, built in the late 19th century as the first paved road across Puerto Rico from north to south, made Caguas easier to reach and helped it grow, and the 1899 U.S. census counted 19,857 people. The city grew considerably in the 1970s, becoming an exurb of San Juan and an important center of pharmaceutical manufacturing. On August 7, 2002, a U.S. Air Force Hercules aircraft struck a mountain in the south of the municipality, killing all 10 people aboard. Hurricane Maria on September 20, 2017, brought landslides and flooding, and the population fell from a peak of 142,893 in 2010 to 127,244 in 2020. Sources Wikipedia: Caguas, Puerto Rico
